St. Stephen’s Day Challenge Match

A Family Fun Day In Aid Of Local Charities

The St. Stephens Day Challenge match is an annual event that is contested between Carrigaline Utd AFC and Carrigaline Hurling and Football Club.

Now in it’s 6th year, the St. Stephens Day Challenge Match has raised over €15,000 so far, with all monies raised given to the Carrigaline Lions Club who distribute it to local charities.

Pictured at the launch of the St. Stephen’s Day Challenge in Rosies Bar were Greg O’Halloran & Kalen Spillane (Cork City FC) with Pat O’Sullivan, Carrigaline Lions Club.

Each year this match alternates between Carrigaline Soccer Club and Carrigaline GAA Club with the host club playing their preferred code. This year the Challenge Match is being hosted by the Carrigaline Hurling & Football club at their grounds on the Crosshaven road kicking off at 1PM on St. Stephen’s Day. The line up for the day is as follows:

Throw-in for the ladies game is at 1pm followed by the Legends teams (Golden Oldies ) which includes past and present players form both clubs. Finally wrapping up proceedings on the pitch are the Senior teams from both clubs which will also include in their line-ups Greg O’Halloran & Kalen Spillane (Cork City FC) and Nicholas Murphy & Michael Shields (Cork Senior Footballers). Off the pitch and in the club house bar, DJ Roy will be spinning the tunes while in the main hall, there will be entertainment between 3pm & 5pm for all the children.

As in previous years, there will be a prize raffle draw. This year’s 1st prize in the raffle consists of 2 Heineken Cup tickets plus there are many more vouchers and hampers to be won. Lines cost €2 with the draw taking place on the day.

We would like to thank all our generous sponsors including our main sponsor Paddy Cronin of Rosie’s Bar Carrigaline and other sponsors KWP Print and Cogan’s Toyota.
