Participants stopped at Kenagh St. Dominics GAA Club for cup of tea and a toilet break. Darren Mulledy explained, “All the tractor drivers had a great day as the rain held off until we got back to the mart for refreshments. We would just like to thank everyone who helped in anyway to make this fundraiser a huge success.”
Darren added, “ Special word of thanks to our main sponsor Raj Singh and all the businesses who gave donations. As there is still money coming in we won't have the final figure till next week, but we have estimated that we will hit €7,500.”
