Following drinks and a marvellous lunch, guests were entertained and enjoyed hearing about the wonderful exploits of our two speakers, Ollie Campbell and Willie Anderson, during their international careers.

A signed Grand Slam Jersey, kindly donated by Pat Fitzgerald (IRFU) and a signed photograph of the legendary stand-off between Buck Shelford and Willie Anderson, donated by Willie, were auctioned. Enda Carton was the final bidder on the Jersey and the photograph was purchased by Killarney Telecom under the watchful eye of Alan Hanamy MD.

Both items were very kindly donated back to the Club and we thank Enda and Alan most sincerely. Lunch turned into an evening event, culminating in a midnight plus finish in the hotel. Sincere thanks to Dunboyne Castle and especially Liz Diaz and her colleague Tom for an excellent day.

Finally, our main sponsor for the day again was Killarney Telecom and we appreciate and thank most sincerely Tony Killarney and Alan Hanamy, for their continued support and generosity to Coolmine RFC.
