Offaly go on GOAL rush to aid Haiti relief work

THE Offaly senior footballers are undertaking a charity relay run between Edenderry and Tullamore on May 15 to raise funds for GOAL’s work in Haiti.

The squad, who are in Leinster SFC action a week later against Meath, are hopeful of a good response to their efforts.

Spokesman Scott Brady said: “This is a team effort so we are all starting together and once we get out on the road we will put two or three of the lads out front to run, while the rest of us will travel behind, collecting money and taking turns to jog a few miles here and there. When we are about a mile or two out from Tullamore, we will join together again and cross the line as a group. This is all about helping GOAL in Haiti and hopefully we can do our bit.”
