On
the 28th May 2017 the Club held two charity cycle challenges in memory
of club member Damian Lennon who passed away last year from pancreatic
cancer.
The
'HQ Challenge' was a cycle from Croke Park, GAA Headquarters,
to the clubhouse.
The
'On Yer Bike' Challenge was a cycle from Scarva
to Newry and back.
A great day was had by all with funds raised
shared between the Club and the Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund in
Damian's memory.
The Club would like to say a MASSIVE thank you to all our
local businesses below for helping us to organise a great day yesterday and
