LIMERICK GC will host the inaugural sponsored Irish Professional Footballers’ Benevolent Association (IPFBA) Golf Classic on September 27.
At its launch, legends John Giles, Eoin Hand and Niall Quinn were announced as patrons of the IPFBA.
Past local heroes Pat Nolan, Brendan Storan, Ray O’Halloran, Micko O’Donnell, Johnny Walsh and Mike O’Brien are the host committee.
The target is to raise €10,000.
Mayor John Moran said: “It is great that people are coming to the Golf Classic here in Limerick from all over the country, for what is a really important cause. Players whom we have looked up to as heroes may be the ones who now need help.”
Added Storan: “The support for this fundraiser is growing by the day and we are looking forward to meeting the ex-pros from all over Ireland.”
Campion Insurances, Provincial Flooring (Haugh family) and GVM (Tom Crosse) are all on board as supporters.
A limited number of places for teams of four (€300) are available for the golf classic with enquiries to 087-8107155 or 086-6097544.
