🍀 ONLY ONE WEEK TO GO! 🍀

Next Saturday, our good friend Derek McElwaine takes on an incredible challenge to raise funds for Knockbride GFC Juveniles. 💙💛

Derek will be climbing Croagh Patrick with a 25kg bag of meal on his back! 💪⛰️ And he won’t be alone — members of the U15s team will be taking on Croagh Patrick alongside their coach.

A brilliant challenge for a brilliant cause, helping to raise much-needed funds for equipment and everything that goes into supporting our juvenile players. ⚽

👏 Best of luck to Derek and all the U15s taking part!

There’s still time to help Derek reach his fundraising goal. Every €5, €10 or €20 adds up — and if you’re not in a position to donate, simply sharing the fundraiser can make a huge difference. ❤️

🍀 Donate if you can. Share if you can. And let’s get Derek over that finish line! 🍀

Hi everyone! I’m back again, taking on another challenge along with t… Knockbride Juveniles needs your support for Carry bag of sheep meal up Croagh Patrick

Once again, we want to say a massive THANK YOU to everyone who helped, not only on the day of the festival but in the weeks and months leading up to it.

From taking money at the gates, setting up fences, parking cars, putting up and collecting signs, directing traffic, taking photographs, creating stickers, organising tractor lanes, levelling the track, setting up marquees and helping with the countless jobs behind the scenes — the list really is endless!

A festival of this size simply could not happen without people giving their time, energy and a helping hand. Every single contribution, big or small, helped make Knockbride Festival the fantastic community day that it was. 🥰
