Tommy McConville event organisers to hand over funds raised to North Louth Hospice this Friday

The late, great Tommy McConville

The organisers of the recent Tommy McConville Golf Classic and Fundraising Night will make a presentation of all funds raised from the June 7^th event to the North Louth Hospice this Friday evening.

The cheque presentation will take place at 7.30pm in McAlester’s Bar in Bridge Street at 7.30pm, with over €10,000 reported to have been raised from the golf outing at Ballymascanlon House Hotel and the night afterwards in the Lisdoo.

There is also hope of making the event an annual thing in order to keep Tommy Mac’s memory alive for years to come.

The Dundalk FC legend passed away following illness last October.

Tommy McConville painting to be auctioned this Saturday

Local artist Michael Gavan Duffy will auction off a painting called ‘Tommy Mac Soccer Legend’ in the Lisdoo this Saturday night.

The portrait of the late Tommy McConville, which captures him in his playing days as well as more recently, will be sold to raise funds for the North Louth Hospice.

The auction concedes with an evening in the Dundalk FC legend’s honour that night, which will be preceded by a golf classic in Ballymascanlon earlier that day.

Anyone who can’t make it along can bid by calling or texting 086-8407275.

Earlier this year, Michael – a PA announcer at Oriel Park – auctioned another portrait of Tommy, who passed away last October. It was bought by a group of Tommy’s friends for €440 and subsequently donated to the County Museum in Dundalk.
