THEY were under starters orders at Na Gaeil GAA Club last night when the annual race night got underway just after 8.30pm.

The fundraising night has been held for nearly 20 years now and is always well attended by club members and the greater community.

Chairman of Na Gaeil, Tim Lynch, was delighted with the level of support. “We have 180 horses sold at €50 a horse, as well as all the advertisements in the booklet. It’s our main fundraiser and it’s needed. It takes a lot of money to run the club, all the success we’re having — with three All-Ireland medal winners from the club this year — comes at a cost.

“We want to thank everyone who supported the night in any way and hopefully we can continue to bring success thanks to their support,” he said.

As well as those present, the event was streamed live on the Na Gaeil GAA Facebook page for members who couldn’t make it and the diaspora.

The event included an auction for a signed Kerry jersey from the All-Ireland winners, Best Dressed Ladies and Gents competitions — won by Mary Lacey and Danny Brick — and the highlight of the night,  The Na Gaeil Gold Cup’ with a top prize of €1,000 to the winner. Scroll down for photos…
