CLG Na Dunaibh have postponed their upcoming Helicopter Drop fundraiser as their ladies’ Ulster JFC debut takes centre stage this Saturday. 

The Donegal Junior champions are away to Butlersbridge, Cavan at the weekend so something had to give. And the big fundraiser has now been pushed back to December 1. 

A statement on the club’s social media channels read: “A tremendous amount of effort has gone into planning this fundraiser but we want to ensure that the focus remains on the ladies’ accomplishments on Saturday.

“And we’d encourage all our members and community to get out and support our ladies during this exciting time”.

So, moving onto December 1,  the club will drop five footballs from a helicopter, and a lucky ticket holder might become €25,000 richer!
