CORK CAMOGIE STARS LAUNCH FUNDRAISING NIGHT AT THE DOGS

GRI

Camogie stars Orlaith Cahalane, Meabh Cahalane and Laura Hayes, joined by GAA Hall of Fame recipient Jimmy Barry Murphy, were in Curraheen Park to launch a major fundraising event for the Cork Senior Camogie team which takes place on Saturday 9th December.

The night will provide an opportunity for fans of all ages to enjoy a night with the team and celebrate their success in 2023. In August, the team claimed a 29th All Ireland Camogie title for Cork and the O’Duffy Cup will be proudly displayed on the night with opportunities for fans to take pictures with both the cup and the players.

Money raised from the Night at the Dogs will go towards the Player’s Fund to support the Camogie team throughout the coming year in 2024 and also help to fund a well-deserved break for the team after their successful year. The money will be split between a Player’s Holiday Fund and Player Welfare Expenses such as physiotherapy, medical costs, travel and food and training expenses.

Tickets are priced at €20 and are available directly from Cork Senior Camogie team and representatives but can also be purchased online on www.CurraheenParkGreyhoundStadium.ie.

Tickets are also available to purchase directly from the Cork Camogie team and representatives. 

All ticket holders are entered into a draw for a trip for 2 to Man City VS Man United in the Etihad stadium in March 2024. Flights & accommodation included!

If you are interested in sponsoring a race on the night, please contact Jennifer on 0879239228.

Speaking about the fundraiser, Cork camogie captain Amy O'Connor said “Every time we take to the field we strive to be role models for every child in Cork who, like we did, dreams of playing for our county. We hope to see families and supporters, young and old, there on the night to help us celebrate as we come to the end of a very special year.”

Curraheen Park’s Brian Collins added “Cork has always been immensely proud and supportive of our sporting stars and I have no doubt that people will get behind the Camogie team and make the night a big success. The achievement of the team this year has been outstanding, just last weekend the players received 8 All Star Awards, and it’s our privilege to celebrate with them.”

Along with supporting the Cork Senior Camogie Team, those attending on the night will also have an opportunity to enjoy an exciting night out in the lead up to Christmas, top-class racing and they’ll have the chance to meet Irish Retired Greyhound Trust ambassadogs too! The party will continue after racing with a DJ to dance the night away!
