Lámh Dhearg Senior Hurlers held a very successful and enjoyable fund raiser hurling chat show in their clubrooms.
The guests were Cushendall’s  Neil McManus ,holder of eight county championship medals and former county captain, Clare’s  Anthony Daly all Ireland winning captain and former all Ireland winning manager  Liam Sheedy from Tipperary.
The show was generously supported by the Beechlawn Hotel , Herron Paving and Groundwork’s and RMC Building services .
The show was compered professionally by club pro Paul Buchanan who kept the discussion fluently flowing with a diverse array of interesting  and challenging questions.
In promotion of the event the club advertised  insight , stories and top class hurling chat and the night certainly lived up to its expectations.

The guests were in great form as they discussed topics such as the biggest influences on their career at club and county , highlights and lows of their careers , best player they ever played with and who were their toughest opponents.  They provided some very funny stories from their careers and very  witty insights into some of the colourful characters they have played with . Valuable advice was also given to the hurlers and camogs in the audience relating how to prepare mentally for big games and the fitness and qualities required to succeed.
 There was also serious and heated debate with the guests speaking  passionately on some topical and current issues such as Allianz sponsorship of the National League, amateurism status in the GAA, should the inter county season be extended and how can the GAA raise standards of development of hurling in the weaker counties .
At the interval a special presentation was made by club trustee Sean Maguire to former county Secretary and Clubman Frankie Quinn in recognition of his commitment and service to the county and club .
The panel were deeply divided on who could win the All Ireland this year but all agreed that Munster will a very keenly contested championship and it will
be even tough to qualify from.

At the end Neil, Dalo and Liam showed not only are they successful hurlers and accomplished , entertaining and articulate pundits but very good singers as they all give a rendition of their favourite championship celebration songs to conclude a highly entertaining and enthralling night.
A truly memorable night to be remembered by the audience . After the show Neil, Dalo and Liam mingled freely with the appreciative audience and posed for an array of photographs.
The club also would like acknowledge the generous support of Pizza Hut and Clean Vision Window Cleaning and senior hurlers for donating prizes for the ballot.
Well done to all concerned in the organisation of a fantastic event.
