Ogonnelloe Hurling Club - Race Night 2026

It is that time of the year again when we run the O’Gonnelloe Hurling Club Race Night. This annual fundraiser, in existence for over 30 years, has traditionally been used to cover the Club’s day-to-day running costs.

As you may know, with our new multi-purpose indoor astro turf and gym facility, the Club is undertaking the most expensive development in its 130+ year history. The hugely impressive astro arena has already been operational for the past 2 years and it is in constant high demand with multiple groups benefitting from it. In early 2026 we were delighted to be able to open a fully equipped gym facility which is available to use by all in the community and which is a hive of activity with many people from the East Clare area attending classes and making use of the facility.

Our next target is to complete the toilets, kitchen area, meeting room as well as landscaping the outside which we hope will include a children's play area, which will be fully available to everybody in the community.

With the vast majority of the funding in place to complete the project, our hope is, that by having another hugely successful race-night in 2026, that we will be in a position to not just cover the daily running costs of the Club, but to also contribute a significant amount towards the project fundraising needs.
