THE CUALA SENIOR hurling team will play Craobh Chiaráin on 7 October in Parnell Park in the Senior Club championship quarter-final, and they are desperately trying to raise funds to help take them over the championship line.

The club are attempting to raise €10,000 to help cover running costs, which would cover facilities rent (pitches/gym), coaching, equipment and transport.

And their novel idea to raise money involves a series of gifts in return for certain donations:

• €10 – Become an Official Cuala Senior Hurling 2015 supporter.
• €25 – Autographed Cula senior hurlers 2015 photo.
• €70 – Win a sliotar autographed by Cuala’s Dublin senior hurlers.
• €201 – Date Ros Tierney in the Corner Note Café, Dalkey (Ros enjoys long walks, listening, and burying lively corner-forwards!)
• €202 – Date Conor Hayes in Benito’s restaurant, Dalkey (Conor has great hair, speaks fluent French and pulls hard!)
• €203 – Date Luke Keough in the Tramyard Café, Dalkey (Luke benches 120kg, tackles anything that moves and knows all the lyrics to ‘A Whole New World!)
• €204 – Date Jake Malone in the Victoria Asian Cuisine restaurant, Monkstown (Jake is the baby of the team, is a great stick-man and has the stamina of a young Springbok!)
• €350 – Win a forwards and free-taking coaching session for your team.
• €351 – Win a backs and defending coaching session for your team.
• €400 – Win two nights bed & breakfast for two people in any Jury’s Hotel in Ireland or the UK.
• €550 – Win autographed/framed Dublin Senior Football and hurling 2015 squad jerseys.

If you fancy any of the above prizes you can donate here.
