Social hurling tournament to raise much-needed funds for Tipperary community group
The event is in aid of the Tipperary Town branch of Meals on Wheels after €6,700 bill
A fundraising event for a good cause in Tipperary will take place this coming weekend.
Tipperary Town will see a social hurling event take place on Saturday (March 1) in aid of the local branch of Meals on Wheels.
The Tipperary Town branch of Meals on Wheels delivers around 120 meals each day to people within a 10km catchment area of the west Tipperary town.
The fundraising event comes as the local group had to replace the engine in their van in December in order to keep the service running, at a cost of €6,700.
The social hurling tournament will take place at the Abbey CBS astroturf pitch on Saturday, getting underway from 12 noon, with eight teams set to face off on the day.
The games will be 20 minutes each, with just goals allowed and there will be eight players per team.
Fundraising buckets will be going around on the day, but those who cannot attend can also support the cause via the GoFundMe page.
Organisers are hoping to raise €2,000 from the online fundraising platform, with a total of €865 raised at the time of writing.
