Men's Blue Day [Team of 2] took centre stage on Friday 25th September, supporting two essential services in the Tipperary area, C-Saw Tipperary and Circle of Friends Tipperary. An initiative borne from Men's President Michael Keaty, the club rallied to support two phenomenal organisations that help everyone at some stage. We were delighted to welcome people from both organisations who were available for chats in the clubhouse throughout the afternoon.
The sun shone bright, the timesheet was full, men wore blue and bought raffle tickets in their droves.
C-Saw [Community Suicide Awareness Workers] host meetings just next door to Oh Sugar in Tipperary town. They provide services that help reduce the number of suicides in Tipperary and surrounding areas. In addition, they provide support and assistance to people who have been bereaved or in any way impacted by suicide. C-Saw aim to: Raise awareness and education in the community; Provide support to those in need; Offer emotional and practical support for those bereaved by suicide.
Circle of Friends Tipperary was founded by Jennifer Jones Hickey and her inspiration continues, the Circle of Friends Team offer emotional support and help people affected by cancer, their families and friends, in a warm safe environment. They provide a range of complimentary therapies which can be beneficial to people affected by cancer. Complimentary therapies can help people suffering from fatigue and help reduce stress and anxiety by restoring a sense of well-being. They also provide a drop-in centre where people who have been affected by cancer along with their families may access support and information.
Winners on the day were past Captain Pat Creamer and Gerard Ryan with an amazing score of 50nett. Gerard sank putts from all directions and distances and they both thoroughly enjoyed their round. In second place was Jerry Morrissey and Sean Jackson, another firm favourite combination, with a nett 52, again great scoring. In third place was James Doocey and Willie Hayes with a nett 54. Over 130 men took part on the day, and a Kildare golf society of visitors also contributed to the cause on the day.
It was exceptionally impressive the generosity and heartfelt support for such a local initiative, with donations of hampers, raffle prizes and an electric bike for the raffle.
On Saturday 26th September the Bansha V Aherlow annual match took place. It was set up to support Mary Kate Byrne. Mary Kate is a 5-year-old girl from Tipperary Town who was diagnosed with stage 4 Wilms cancer a few months ago. Through it all, Mary Kate has remained such a happy, positive little girl. All the money raised on the day will go to Mary Kate and her family. Mary Kate and her mom popped in to say hello on Saturday evening. Well done to Mike & Karen O'Brien and Liam O'Brien who co-ordinated the golfers and the fund raising. Bansha emerged victorious, to hold on to the Donal Bradshaw Plate for another year, but on the day it was all for Mary Kate.
