Framed jerseys from two of Donegal’s All-Ireland heroes are going to auction next Saturday to aid a Letterkenny native recover from a stroke.
Autographed erseys from the 1992 and 2012 All-Ireland campaigns will go under the hammer at the St Eunan’s GAA Dinner Dance at the Mount Errigal Hotel on Saturday the 28th of December.
The Letterkenny club will be celebrating the achievements of the last year, including the winning of their 16th Donegal Senior Football Championship – with the Dr Maguire Cup on display as well.
On the night, there will be an auction for a replica of the 1992 All-Ireland winning jersey, recalling when Brian McEniff’s team beat Dublin to take Sam to the Hills for the first time.
Also, Rory Kavanagh has kindly donated his match-worn jersey from the 2012 Ulster final success over Down for auction. The St Eunan’s midfielder helped the side managed by Jim McGuinness go on to win Sam Maguire for only the second time when they overcame Mayo at Croke Park.
Both jerseys have been framed with accompanying photographs and signed by players from the winning panels, with the 1992 jersey sponsored by 3D Personnel and the 2012 jersey sponsored by The Swilly Inn.
Monies raised will be in aid of the Greg Fitzgerald recovery fund. Letterkenny native Greg suffered a stroke in March and is continuing his recovery at the National Rehabilitation Hospital in Dún Laoghaire.
The auction gives those in attendance on the night an opportunity to bid on the Donegal GAA memorabilia that celebrate their two most memorable seasons.
Alternatively, for those unable to attend, bids can be made in advance of the auction, by call, text message or Whatsapp to either Barry Kavanagh (087-7644676), Rory Kavanagh (086-3067824) or Alma Kavanagh (087-6952551). The deadline for text bids is 6pm on Saturday, December 28.
Those who wish not to participate in the auction and would prefer to donate to the charity can do so on ‘Greg Fitzgerald’s Fundraiser’ on iDonate.
