Midlands GAA Club Holds "Around the World Solo Relay"

They are inviting our community, based locally and the wider diaspora around the world to get involved.

A Westmeath club is asking people to get involved in their "Around the World Solo Relay".

Castledaly GAA is holding its annual fundraising initiative this weekend. 

They are inviting our community, based locally and the wider diaspora around the world, including the UK, USA, UAE, Mali, Australia, New Zealand, and even as far away as Offaly, to pick up a ball and solo for Castledaly GAA.

The final leg of the Solo Relay will be from Cusack Park in Mullingar to our spiritual home of Castledaly GAA pitch.

All members of thecommunity, including our underage and senior teams, mothers and others and fit club members have signed up to take part.

Winning teams from the Senior Championship (2008), Intermediate Championship (1994) and the Junior Championship (1983) will be soloing a leg of the relay.

The money raised will allow the club to further serve the community for the coming year, from maintaining the pitches for all our players to keeping the lights on during the winter for the walking track.

The club is looking to foster an inclusive and respectful culture and environment that promotes the health and lifelong participation of our members.

The club says they understand that there are many demands on people’s money, so we are asking to give what you can, whether it be €1 or €100, you will receive the same welcome at the pitch of our community club, Castledaly GAA.

Tom Stone, Chairman of Castledaly, says they are looking for everyone to get involved:
