There will be no holds barred when St. Eunans GAA Club and Letterkenny Rugby Club square up to eachother at this years Lord Of The Rings.
The clubs have decided to join up to raise funds for both sports in what is the best night of entertainment in Letterkenny.
Each club will have 17 boxers from their perspective clubs lined up to fight each other on the night.
Who will win on the night will be a close affair but one thing is for certain the public will be treated to some mouth watering encounters.
Some of the names confirmed for the night include Ciaran Brogan County councillor, Jason Black owner of Voodoo nightclub, Chris Peoples the popular ESB man from Milford, Eamonn O’Boyle manager of St. Eunans and Charlie Mulgrew ex county footballer.
The night itself is run by whitecollarboxing.ie from Dublin.
Owner of the company Mr. Cathal O’Grady said he is delighted to be back in Letterkenny for the forth year running, “ I travel throughout Ireland organizing white collar boxing events and the event in Letterkenny is certainly up there with the best of them in terms of atmosphere and professionalism. It is certainly a night I look forward too.”
Mr Danny Ryan who coaches the boxers said he was delighted to be associated with the event this year again.
“The boxers will go through an extensive 7 week training programme and judging from the lineup it certainly going to be a ding dong night.”
Boyd Robinson chairperson of the organizing committee said “ Its fantastic to put a new slant on the Lord of the Rings this year. Getting two clubs that need funds for day to day running and development makes fantastic sense in the present economic climate.
“Not many towns can bring two sports like rugby and Gaelic together to the one venue for a function and it testament to the wonderful community spirit in Letterkenny that an event such as this can take place.
The first 3 years have been sold out and I have no doubt this year will be the same. I am also delighted and would like to thank O’Gorman & Cunningham Solicitors who are our main sponsors for the event for the fourth year running.”
The event will take place this year in the Mount Errigal Hotel on the 15th March 2013 and tickets are available for purchase at Charlie Robinson estate agents, Blakes Bar and the Mount Errigal Hotel,
