    Folks

    Samaritans in Carlow/Kilkenny are organising a raffle for 7 autographed balls, including rugby balls from all four provences, a Man U football, and sliothars from both Tipperary and Kilkenny squads.

    Tickets are €2 and can be bought online at the link below. They aim to raise both money and awareness by organising the raffle, so even if it's not for you can you please let any friends who may be interested know about it.

    Thanks

    It all started with the Man U ball and then my sister decided to see if she could get other prizes for it. It's amazing how the old network can come up trumps for a cause as good as Samaritans... anyway just hope now they get the money and the PR they want. Also hope the Munster ball ends up in my grubby mitts lol
