WHITE COLLAR BOXING.
What a night was had by all who attended the “Bust Up in The Ballroom” on Saturday night last in Dundrum House Hotel. The boxers, corner men, supporters and all those who helped out in any way on the night were a credit to both Knockavilla Donaskeigh Kickhams and Clonoulty Rossmore GAA clubs. On behalf of the Kickhams we would like to sincerely thank all our sponsors and all who turned up and supported on the night to make the whole event such a wonderful success. We also thank Clonoulty Rossmore for coming on board for this novel fundraising idea. A special thanks to the organising committee for their great work in getting this event off the ground.
