‘I’m a Celeb’ -Night

After all the hard work of the previous three months of fundraising, the moment of truth came on Friday night last for the 24 ‘I’m a celeb’ contestants. In front of an audience of over 600 people in the Tullamore Court Hotel the 24 contestants were eventually whittled down to two contestants after a series of ‘eating’ competitions and challenges. With Pio Spillane just getting the edge in the eating challenge, to be crowned ‘The King of the Jungle’.  The night proved to be a fantastic night’s entertainment for all who attended and ran into the early hours with the assistance of ‘Rock on Paddy’. The club would like to sincerely thank all the Contestants for their time and effort they put into the fundraising over the past three months, the sponsors for money donated, the main sponsor Leamore Construction Ltd. and to the people of the community both far and wide that support all the events over the past couple of months and all those who came out and support the contestants on Friday night last. A full tally of the money raised will be announced in the coming weeks when all funds are in.
