“Easter Rising” Launched

The much anticipated Fundraising Fight Night between Edenderry GAA and Derry Rovers Football Club was officially launched last Saturday night in Byrne’s Oakwood Inn in Edenderry.

The full list of boxers was announced and they donned the club colours to pose for photos and be interviewed by RTE’s Eamon Horan who did MC on the night.

A packed house enjoyed the interviews, banter and social elements to the evening.
