Kojak 'does the business'
28.09.10
IT'S not everyday a cow
gets a whole field to herself. Nor is it everyday a
crowd gathers along the hedgerows to observe where
said cow chooses to do her business! But that’s
exactly what happened at Páirc Cholmcille in Newtown
as club members and spectators gathered to view the
club’s novel fundraising venture – The Cow Pat
Challenge!
Club members had been out and about in recent weeks
selling tickets for the fundraiser. They flogged
squares on the pitch with €2000 up for grabs for the
lucky punter on whose square the cow would chose to
do her business. Hence the rather polite name – The
Cow Pat Challenge.
There was plenty of laughs as 'Kojak' the cow took
to the field to sample the Naomh Colmcille grass and
make someone €2000 better off. |
Kojak finally did the
business at 6:17pm on a spot marked with a flag and
grid reference. The lucky winner was Michael Mulrine
of Raphoe, ticket number 1003. The winning ticket
was sold by senior player Ciaran Devine.
Club PRO, Eugene Rainey says it was a good evening’s
craic: “It had everyone talking and laughing that’s
for sure! Congratulations to Michael and many thanks
to everyone who bought and sold tickets and attended
on the day. The club would also like to thank Breda
Friel for organising the tickets, Karol Friel for
marking out the field, Kieran Friel for bringing |
