Club Chairperson Eamon McCann explained "Our ‘Cow Pat’ fundraising initiative will involve a well fed and watered cow (yes a real cow!), rumoured to be a direct descendant of the ‘Brown Bull of Cooley’. The cow will be released on to our pitch at High Street Bessbrook.
"Before the cow is let loose virtual squares will be randomly numbered per the actual square numbers shown on the tickets sold and then electronically marked out on a computer generated grid map to create a “virtual field” with exactly the same dimensions as the entire real field (excluding the goal areas which will be fenced off) that is contained within the fenced area at the hurling pitch.
"The cow will then be let loose to wander about the real field until she does her “business”. Once the exact position of her “business” on the real field has been carefully measured by our experienced ‘clap patrol’ it will be plotted on to the “virtual field” on the computer!"
Wherever the cow has “clapped”,the owner of that square will receive the prize of £1000.
Tickets, priced at £5 (Books of 5 for £20) are on sale on the club’s social media Facebook page, club officials and ‘Cow Pat’ competition coordinator Donna Tavey +44 7766 807763 who is promising a chance for ticket buyers to to win some ‘moo-lah’ and at the same time help the Ulster Junior Hurling Club Championship winners in 2022 raise much needed funds.
