Over €4000 raised and 1000 miles run for the Mater Foundation by Johnstown FC

During the course of February, a number of Johnstown FC senior players and Johnstown FC coaches were able to raise over €4000 for the Mater Foundation. The lads also upheld their end of the bargain by running over 1000 miles combined. Fair play to all involved as it is a great amount raised and hard miles to run. The guys also wanted to mention their appreciation for the huge support they got from friends, family and the wider community.

When lockdown lifts we are raring to go to get back training. We also hope to continue with further fundraisers and campaigns over the summer months.

Thanks to all who took part:

Presentation night and Fundraiser

On Saturday the club held its annual senior presentation night in O’Briens Johnstown. We also took the chance to run a fundraiser with the help of Salina’s Musical Bingo. It was an extremely enjoyable night and thanks to all who attended. A big shoutout must go to the seniors and U12’s & U14’s girls parents who stayed and supported the club and everyone else who attended.

Also a huge thanks to all managers and club members who sourced spot prizes for the bingo and raffle on the night. The club really appreciates all the generosity of local businesses in supplying these prizes.

On the night there were a number of awards handed out over the two seniors teams for the season just past.

Adam O’Connor collected 1st Team Player of the Year and Young Player of the Year Presented by Christy and Eoin
