THIRD ANNUAL HOOLIE LONG PUCK
The third Annual Hoolie Long Puck in aid of the Kevin Bell Repatriation Trust was launched in the Dungarvan GAA grounds last Saturday morning. Waterford’s inter county hurlers took time out of their busy schedule to attend the launch as well as players from clubs in the area who are involved in organising the ‘Puck’.
Paul Houlihan, brother of David, welcomed everyone to the launch and stated that it was all systems go for Saturday June 30th when the event will take place. The juvenile long puck will literally get the ball rolling at 9.30am followed by the main event.
The Hoolie Long Puck remembers David Houlihan who lost his life in Thailand in 2015 and the money raised is presented to the Kevin Bell Repatriation Trust who assist in bringing loved ones lost abroad home to their families.
To date, the Hooli Long Puck has raised over £30,000 which has been presented to Colin Bell and his trust, the Bell family having lost their own son Kevin some years back. Entry fee to the Long Puck is £10 and refreshments will be served on the day.
