MacCumhaill's to donate draw profits to Creeslough Community Development Fund

All of the profits from Sean MacCumhaill’s half-time ticket draw at the Donegal SFC finals tomorrow in Ballybofey are to be donated to the Creeslough Community Development Fund.

The Donegal SFC final between Naomh Conaill and St Eunan’s was postponed last Sunday following an explosion on Friday in Creeslough that saw 10 people lose their lives. The final will now take place on Saturday, throwing in at 2:!5pm, preceded by the Senior B final where Naomh Conaill also play St Eunan’s at 12 noon.

“Sean MacCumhaills CLG will donate 100% of the profits from its half time draw being held at the Senior Football Finals in MacCumhaill Park on Saturday 15th Oct to the Creeslough Community Support Fund,” read a statement from Maccumhaill’s.

“The fund will provide rapid and long-term assistance to the Creeslough community following the fatal explosion on Friday 7th October.
