GeneralMcVities Cookies That Care
Nearly two months into the campaign, McVitie’s Cookies That Care is proving to be a summer success but we still need your help to reach our goal of 100 sign ups before the end of the summer! We are only 30 sign ups away so if you haven’t signed up, do it now and grab some friends, get baking, get dunking and get fundraising for MS Ireland! Your cookie event can be anything at all from a traditional cookie-coffee morning to a not so traditional sky-dive with cookies when you land (it’s happening!). So far participants have organised countless cookie-coffee mornings in workplaces, sports clubs and homes, an inter-office bake-off and a cookie-eating contest in a university so if you’re looking for ideas, look no further than our website. Here’s a small pick of our faves so far: Cupan Tae Tea Rooms in Kenmare, Co Kerry very kindly donated €100 to the fund. We’ll be stopping by next time we’re in the area!Nuala Boushel held a cookie-coffee morning at work and thanks to the support of her generous colleagues, raised over €700!Dundalk IT Students held a cookie-eating contest on their campus. They were joined by a few special guests including the Louth and Meath Roses. So whether you want to make a Monday in the office a bit more bearable by having a sponsored five-a-side at lunch or you just want to relax with some friends at a cookie-coffee morning, rest assured you are supporting a good cause and the money you raise will be helping to fund essential local support services for people with MS all across Ireland.

A thank you message for our County Footballers
County FootballThe senior county footballers season came to an end last Saturday in Newry when Down defeated our young Leitrim team by 1-16 to 1-8. The scoreline doesnt do justice to a skillful and heartening display by our fully committed Leitrim team. In the first half they certainly held their own against last years beaten All Ireland finalists. The individual brillance of Benny Coulter and the Down teams experience and strenght in debth were crucial to their victory on the day. We wish them the very best of luck in their quest for All Ireland glory.
The Leitrim supporters who made the journey were fully appreciative of our teams performance on the day and we thank them for supporting the team so well in Newry and throughout the season. The Newry venue was fabulous as were the Down supporters who really made the travelling support very welcome.
Our players have now returned to their clubs and turn their attention to the upcoming club championships. We take this opportunity to thank the Leitrim players and management for all their efforts in the 2011 season. The defeat of Sligo in Markievicz Park was a special day for players and supporters alike and we CAN look forward to many more special days from this fine crop of players in the coming seasons.
THANKS LADS
