On Saturday 19th April, Ballybrown GAA won a whopping €10,000 as the winning nominated Limerick GAA Club in the 2025 Con and Annie Kirby Memorial, kindly sponsored by Noreen and JP McManus.
We took a visit to the club to learn more about them and Denis O'Neill explained how the €10,000 will be used to fund development works within the club and their plans for their free fundraising night in Limerick Greyhound Stadium later in the year.
Throughout the 5 weeks of the competition, Ballybrown GAA were out in force to support Faypoint Ranger, and Anne Hannan tells us about how they got behind their greyhound in the competition.
