Louth GAA launch fundraising drive as Wee County Goes Racing
The launch event brought together key sponsors and supporters of Louth GAA to celebrate both recent on-field successes and the continued development of Gaelic games throughout the county.
The evening highlighted the generous backing from main sponsor Michael Lynch Menswear, along with returning sponsors Protection & Prosperity Financial Services, Powerscreen New England, Morgan Fuels, and FLC Frank Lynch & Co. The county board was also delighted to welcome three new sponsors to the Wee County family: IFM, Anglo Printers, and Deeside Agri Services.
'The support from our business community has been phenomenal,' said Sean McClean, County Board Chairperson. 'Their commitment allows us to continue the vital work of developing Gaelic games across Louth.'
The launch provided an opportunity to reflect on Louth's remarkable 2025 season, including appearances in the men's Leinster final, minor final, and u20 Leinster final. These achievements demonstrate the positive impact of the county board's ongoing development programs and emphasise that this success requires continued investment and community support to maintain momentum and build for the future.
Following the tremendous success of last year's race day, anticipation is already building for the 2025 event. 'Everyone had such a fantastic day last year,' said Colm Marry, chairperson of the Wee County Goes Racing committee. 'We're excited to welcome you back to Fairyhouse for another great day of racing and fundraising.'
The 'Wee County Goes Racing' event promises to be a highlight of the Louth GAA calendar, combining the excitement of horse racing with crucial fundraising for the county's Gaelic games development.
Tables of 10 are available to book for €1500 from any committee member, while single seats can be purchased for €150.
