Congratulations to Jerry McAuliffe, Coolagh who won €1,500 in the May, Cork County Board GAA Clubs Draw.

A special congratulations to former Newmarket player Tony Buckley, who won a Heineken Cup Medal with Munster on Saturday in Cardiff. Tony came on for ten minutes for Marcus Horan and unsurprisingly issued out some big hits to the Toulouse men during the period. Congratulations again to Tony & Munster on their historic victory.

Cúige Mumhan agus Áth Trasna Abú!

The best of luck to former club player, now Munster Rugby prop, Tony Buckley, who has been named in the match-day twenty two for tomorrow’s Heineken Cup Final against Toulouse. Also, best of luck to his team-mates and Munster Rugby who are seeking their second title in three years.

Cúige Mumhan Abú!
