TOGETHER FOR ELAINE ✨

During a recent game, Elaine suffered a serious injury that will keep her out of work for at least six months. As a dedicated mother of two children, this unexpected setback has put a tremendous financial strain on her family.

Elaine has always given her all—on the field and off—and now she needs our help. Funds raised will go directly toward covering essential living expenses, medical bills, and supporting her children while she recovers.

Let’s come together to support someone who’s always been there for others. Every donation, no matter the size, makes a difference. Thank you for your kindness and generosity.

Tickets 10€ each and our on sale in
Calluna’s ✨

12th of July at Grennans Bar Drogheda
