Tour De Tubber on August 23

On the 23rd of August, a group of 10 dedicated Tubber GAA members led by Ned Shirley and his son Donal Shirley will take on a huge challenge: cycling 120 kilometres from  Croke Park, all the way home to the club grounds here in Tubber.

And that’s not all. In parallel, back here in Tubber, club members and any willing volunteers will be taking part in a 24-hour spinathon on three spin bikes running from the 22nd to the 23rd of August. Day and night, someone will be in the saddle keeping those wheels turning and the spirits high.

The club took significant damage during storm Eowyn earlier this year resulting in a lot of repair works. Every euro raised will go directly towards the cost of these repairs and investing in improvements that will benefit every player, supporter, and family in our community for years to come.

So Tubber GAA are asked to please show your support. Whether it’s donating, joining us for the spinathon, cycling a stretch of the road, or simply cheering us on, every bit of support is appreciated greatly. 

Join us on the 22nd and 23rd of August. Support the spinathon. Back the cycle. And  join us in the Cat and Bagpipes for BBQ and drinks on the evening of the 23rd.

Donations can be made via Tubber GAA's social media pages.
