A bull trumps Nidge and All Ireland tickets in Kerry school raffle

It’s that time of year again, when you can’t go into your corner shop without coming out with a raffle ticket in support of the local school.

And as we all know, in Kerry they like to do things a little bit different.

So, when Ardfert National School got together to raise funds to build a school hall, they decided that a pedigree Aberdeen Angus bull would be the perfect ’grand prize’.

Yes, a bull.

Tickets are €10 and other prizes include a summer house 1km from the beautiful Banna Beach for one week, two All Ireland football final tickets for 2016 and a Love/Hate box set signed by Nidge himself.

But of course, the ’Banna Beauty’ comes first.

Just your standard annual school raffle in Kerry then.
