THE Offaly GAA County Board and their supporters club, Club Faithful certainly hit on a master stroke with their recent Grand Canal Walk fundraiser.
The venture has brought in a whopping €208,119 so far and its success has surpassed the wildest expectations of the organisers.
It was a shared fundraiser between the County Board and clubs, though the County Board will have cleared that bit more out of it as chairman Michael Duignan gathered funds solely for them and a couple of other clubs also agreed to give their full proceeds to the county.
