Offaly v Kilkenny - Pre Game Event.

[Club Faithful]

A unique charity event, featuring a host of ex-Offaly and Kilkenny hurling legends, is set to provide GAA fans with an entertaining pre-championship game treat on Sunday June 9th when Offaly take on the reigning All Ireland champions.

Carroll's, Offaly GAA, Club Faithful and Irish Autism Action are all teaming up on the day that will cater for all the family and provide the perfect atmosphere for the big game on the day.

A world record breaking attempt - to make as many Carroll’s ham sandwiches in one hour will take place in the Tullamore GAA centre from midday on Sunday June 9th and will provide some interesting pre-game entertainment ahead of the 2pm throw in of the Leinster SHC Quarter Final at O’Connor Park, Tullamore of Offaly and Kilkenny.

The world record attempt will also provide a backdrop to the Sunday Game’s Michael Duignan hosting a Q&A session with other ex-players, Eddie Brennan, DJ Carey, Brian Whelehan and Joe Dooley, who will be giving their insight into one of the great Leinster hurling rivalries ahead of the clash, but will also be on hand to make some sandwiches for the world record attempt.

GAA Fans from both counties and across the midlands are also being given the opportunity to take part in the world record attempt where Carroll’s the longest running sponsor in the GAA at 23 years sponsoring Offaly GAA, are providing the sandwich making materials for the unique occasion.

The record breaking sandwiches will then be donated to the match going crowds at O’Connor Park, by volunteers from Autism Action Ireland to help them raise some much needed funds.

Through a dedicated kid-zone with a kicking cage, face painters and lots more, this pre-championship event promises to provide guaranteed entertainment for the whole family.

The current world record, for the number of sandwiches made in one hour, stands at 2,706 sandwiches.

The event provides something for all the family and is free of charge. Tullamore GAA have kindly donated the use of their GAA centre. All potential sandwich makers would be greatly appreciated as we aim to build the atmosphere ahead of the game.

Ah fifi , poor little diddums, you've finally come back after the league final defeat- your mammy must have tucked you in so tight that night that you took longer than normal to get out of your cot. Was it the John Leahy double stitching on the eiderdown that you couldn't get out of ?
I hope you picked up all the toys you threw out of your pram, otherwise your mammy will be cross with you and you wont be allowed go with the big boys to the match.
