Moorefield Cub has a long and proud tradition of supporting charitable and worthy causes. In recent years, these included the following fundraisers:
- Motor Neuron Association Walk from Croke Park
- Irish Cancer Relay for Life for several years
- The Alan Kavanagh Trust
- Ross Cummins Memorial Truck Run
- Our 24-hour World Record Breakers
The following is a small tribute to the Moorefield boys and girls, men and women, families and supporters who took part in the 10-day fundraiser for Dan and Ruairí, and to those who contributed a total of €7,569.00 for the charities.
Many people whose photos appeared on Facebook over that time are named below … but we also salute those who took part and are not identified: your time, dedication, effort and loyalty to the cause is deeply appreciated. Thank you very much for your involvement.
When all around were Covid bound,
Moorefield members their feet they found
For Lily Ruairí and Laois boy Dan
They cycled far, and walked and ran
Ten days and nights of so much fun
Brought tears of joy to everyone
It made us part of a huge campaign
To save two boys from all their pain
Moorefield’s spirit was never doubted
When all was over, the money counted
A huge amount from all our wealth
To help those boys improve their health
Christine called to get us walking
Action guys instead of talking
Got bank details on the website
And Euros rolled in by day and night
Kellys, Doyles, O’Neills and Murrays
All set off in a terrible hurry
Cally, Amber and the Hogans
Followed with a lot of slogans
Niallo, Aaron, Liam, the Wolfes
Butlers, Murphys and McCormacks
Mick Moloney and the Courtneys
All for little Dan and Ruairí
McGrogans, Naughtons, McDonnells too
Joan Yorke and Theresa Collins in jumpers new
Sinéad with James and Aaron Matthews
Now might need new Man’s Shop shoes
Killian, Jack and Sadie Harte
All went out and played their part
Butlers, Morrisseys and O’Connors
As well as crowds and crowds of others
Darragh Booth, Eileen Moore
Always there and did ensure
That others followed in their wake
The 10-day challenge for all to take
Ozzie, Nicola and Molly O’Toole
Delighted not to be in school
Conatys, Catherine and young Niamh
Their 10-day goal they did achieve
Geraldine and Rowena did their best
To set the pace for all the rest
Aungiers, Origans and the Brownes
Some of the best in Newbridge town
Stuart Conlon, Morrisseys, Ruth McCarter
Lola, Mila and David Farragher
Darragh Sheehy, Davie Brannigan
Could not go any faster
Bearded Niall and Kieran Murray
On their bikes and in a hurry
McDermott couple, Mairead and John
The five km jog they took it on
Gillian Kelly, Abbey and Ross Casey
One and all are really pacey
Healys, Kemmys and Daire Dunne
They really enjoyed all the fun
Danielle Kinsella, Michelle Burke
Look how hard they did work
Anthony Durney on a great high catch
Training for a Moorefield match
The Conway clan and Tara Quinn
Always there to test their skill
O’Briens, Gilroys, Cruddens too
They all showed what they could do
Galvins, McGraths, Condrens, Flynns
Went out to prove that they could win
From early morning to evening time
Kept up the effort, they crossed the line
Good luck to little Laois man Dan
And Ruairí from Lilywhite land
We wish them both a happy life
May they enjoy the games that we all like
Lorcán O’Rourke
