A very embarrassing... But very fun night!

Drumconrath Hunt for a Hunk

Drumconrath football club held a fundraiser on Saturday night, 27th of November. The fundraiser was called Hunt for a Hunk! "What's that?".. I hear you ask!
Well, it's like the Rose of Tralee... Only it'd be better if it was named the Thistle of Tralee. It's cheekier, cheesier and the piss gets ripped out of the contestants! So who else would be foolish enough to agree to being a contestant? Yeh... That's right!! Feckin me...

There were 10 contestants, you can check out the standard of the competition in this pic yourself!

Drumconrath Hunks! Doesn't say much for
the village...Does it? :) 
Each "Hunk" had to do a party piece. They varied from men singing, playing the guitar, trying to break the world record of eating 3 cream crackers in a minute, and even showing off their skills on a spinner bike!
Me, I TRIED to sing the Hucklebuck.. Pretty simple song, but i still managed to forget the lyrics! That's what nerves does to ya, eh? I tried to talk the talk and all that.. But he still managed to rip the piss outta me!




The MC on the night was Frank Mitchell, the man to used to present UTV's School Around The Corner.

In saying that, many said the night was "the best the village had in a long time!". It was great fun, both for the spectators and the audience! It raised a massive amount of money, over 6,000euro, and half of which will be donated to Crumlin Children's Hospital. Thanks to all who sponsored the event!

I'll leave you with a clip from the night, all the contestants took part in The Riverdance while the votes were being counted1 Some lads wore blouses and dresses.. While others weren't as foolish! You'll see all the gobshites together at 1:30!
