Cheltenham Preview
Night a success!
A
very entertaining night was had by all at the Cheltenham Preview Night, held on
Friday evening last, the 26th February in the club function room. We
had a wealth of experience and in-depth knowledge of horseflesh available,
namely our guests Jim Dreaper, Tom Taafe, Adrian Mc Guinness, Patrick Mullins,
Andrew Lynch, Brian Flanagan and of course, RTE's Tony O' Hehir. Our
own Paddy Joe Moran was his usual witty self during his introduction of the
guests, he then handed the MC reins over to Tony O' Hehir. Every race was given
an in-depth analysis from all perspectives, and when the Preview was complete,
the raffle of the array of prizes began. Top prize was a trip for two to
Cheltenham, courtesy of Freddie Grehan of Sporting & Special Events
Limited. Congratulations to the lucky winner, Ms Eileen Higgins.
After the
raffle was complete, the successful Donaghmore / Ashbourne Scór team were
presented with their individual club trophies, by Executive member Conor
Tormey. Everyone then reconvened in the bar, where music was provided by Peter
Finnegan and finger food was served. The evening was topped off by Paddy Joe reprising
his winning Scór sketch, donning his jockey's outfit for added effect! A big
thank you to all our guests, our sponsors Bambury Bookmakers and Mr and
Mrs Jim Finlay, and all the attendees! The whole evening ran smooth as
clockwork, thanks to the hard work of our committee, and its’ Chairman P.J.
Durkan.
