April 30, 2020
Billy Finn and John Larkin
Every year the Aodh Ruadh club in Donegal holds a tournament in memory of two former legends who passed away but this is no normal year.
Billy Finn and John Larkin, who both passed on in 2017, were tireless workers for hurling in Aodh Ruadh and great workers for the Ballyshannon Community. These two men were also former representatives on Ulster Hurling Board.
May Bank Holiday Monday usually see's the club honour these two former legends on the field of play with the Billy Finn/John Larkin U 14 Hurling Tournament. This year due to the Coronavirus Pandemic Aodh Ruadh can't have the tournament but instead they are honouring their memory in another way with the Billy Finn/John Larkin Memorial Challenge 1,000km in 72 hours.
The club are raising money for Irish Wheelchair Association Donegal Branch, Liquid Therapy, Donegal Alzheimer's Society and the Patients Comfort Fund Sheil Hospital. All local charities who's fundraising efforts have been seriously affected by Covid 19.
