Ahascragh Fohenagh  GAA Club’s fundraiser Toughest Townland is putting  townlands from all around the club against each other to find out which is the toughest!

The club are running this event to celebrate their 20th anniversary and to raise funds for the development of their club facilities and for East Galway and Midlands Cancer Support. The hope is to promote fun community events that everyone can get involved in and launch their new Healthy Club initiative

The event sees teams from 17 townlands from the parishes of Ahascragh, Fohenagh and Caltra forming teams from their own areas and organising a fundraising event. The teams will then compete in a series of physical, mental and teamwork challenges on June 25 in Fohenagh pitch.

Paul Lohan one of the organisers of the event stated: “In addition to raising money for the club we will be making a donation to East Galway and Midlands Cancer Support. This important local charity provides a very important and valued service to our community and we as a club are delighted that they have come on board with us. The club had a representative from the charity speak to club members at a recent coffee morning fundraiser in Ahascragh and this was valued by all present.”
