A great night’s entertainment guaranteed next Saturday (bank holiday weekend) 31st May in The Lyrath Hotel. Our very own John Hoyne will compete in THE CUBE KILKENNY and try to secure €5,000 for our club. This is a fundraiser for Danesfort GAA but will act as a potential fundraiser for one other local club or charity. Tickets are €20 and can be bought from Supervalu Loughboy, Electrocity, Kilkenny People office and from the Lyrath Hotel on the night.
