Portlaoise GAA Club are set to hold a ‘Duck Race’ on St Stephen’s Day, December 26.
The initiative is being held to raise funds for the redevelopment and revamp of the Portlaoise GAA Gym in Rathleague.
The Duck Race is being held at 11.00am on the day on the Triogue River in Portlaoise.
However, due to COVID restrictions, the event will be livestreamed on the Portlaoise GAA Facebook page.
Organisers Ciarán McEvoy and Frank Flanagan said: ‘We are very grateful to those who have bought tickets already.
“Our gym in Rathleague is in desperate need of a makeover, so any monies raised will help us enormously.
“Competition is fierce for people to be crowned the ‘Duck Race Champion of 2020’.
“Tickets cost just €5 and the first prize is €500 with nine more cash prizes up for grabs in the final race.
“We’d like to thank the other organisers involved including Crocky Maher, Cathal Duggan, Kieran Lillis, Paddy Downey, Anna Fitzgibbon and Grainne Moran.”
Anyone wishing to buy a ticket can do so in Downey’s, Portlaoise or by contacting anyone involved in the club.
