Here's How We Can All Help Club Finances
Bray Emmets are again selling these tickets this year. It is very attractive financially as all the generous prizes are supplied by Croke Park with
all proceeds going the club.
This is a very important source of funds for us and allows us to keep our membership subscription levels lower than would ordinarily be the case while
\ still maintaining our coaching and grounds at a very high level.
It was a very successful fundraiser in 2021 with over €11,000 brought into club coffers. Last year was somewhat lower at approximately €9,000. We are hopeful
of an improvement on last year but to do this we must have the full support of all teams.
If you want to get on easily, just go on the Bray Emmets Clubforce system which will be set-up soon. Alternatively, you can get physical tickets through your team co-ordinator over the next couple of weeks.
To meet the Croke Park deadline all tickets have to be bought and tickets must be returned to Dermot O'Brien before February 7, which is only three weeks away.
For any more information please contact any team mentor/co-ordinator or club officer or on 086-2560401.
Your Chance To Celebrate Our Amazing Hurling Year
We are indebted to Colm McDonagh for the message below. As you can see, it is an opportunity to celebrate the once in a lifetime achievements
of our senior hurlers and it is guaranteed to be a great night of chat and
banter. And I've no doubt we will also dwell on the fact that we could have been All Ireland champions seeing as our conquerors from Limerick went
all the way at the weekend in Croke Park.

All Stars Back And Indoors
All hands on deck as the new equipment is unfurled at the All Star's training session on Saturday
It was great to see the Lackey family again spearhead the All Stars session at the beautiful and spacious Hall of Sport in Colaiste Raithin on Saturday morning.
As it was chilly outside, this was a great call to change venue and all the children, not to mention parents, grandparents and coaches had a great hour's entertainment inside in the warmth.
Well done too to our sponsors as Jenny and Rob unveiled new equipment aplenty which meant we could enjoy the fun and games to an even better level.
The Saturday session will continue in their new surroundings until we go back outdoors at the clubhouse in a few months time.
