The event will take place at Ciaran’s Bar and the Queens hotel when in the region of two hundred players will take part.

So far there has been a big response from clubs across the county for the event which carries a very attractive prize fund while there will also be a selection of spot prizes available on the night.

Monies raised will go towards the preparation of the various development squad panels at under 14 and 16 levels as well as helping with the preparation of the minor, under 20 and senior county squads all of whom will be busy over the coming months getting ready for their championship campaigns.

The organising committee comprises Kevin Callinan, Tommy Tubridy, Michael Clancy, Mary Farrell-Keane, Niamh Madigan, Colm Collins, Seamus Hayes, Ciaran Browne and Michael Talty.
