To All Clubs,

Please see details below of a major sports conference to be held in Breaffy House Resort. This should prove to be a very interesting weekend with regard to all sports. Soccer is especially well represented by Kenny Cunningham and Brian Kerr.
Breaffy House Resort has been a very good sponsor for the past few years of our county teams (especially the Kennedy Cup team). We ask your club to lend your support.
