Anthony O’Carroll Fundraiser  – a thank you from event organisers and list of raffle prize winners

The final raffle for the Ballyduff Rallies, a three-day fundraiser for injured motorcycle racer Anthony O’Carroll, took place on Friday night.

Over the weekend of September 13th-15th, Ballyduff hosted a variety of events to raise funds for O’Carroll’s recovery.

The event featured motorcycle and classic car displays, live music, a monster raffle, and a 5km walk. Riders from across the country gathered to show their solidarity for the injured racer.

The organisers, a collaboration of  Kerry Motor Club, Ballyduff Vintage Club, No Hopers Motorcycle Club, and Kerry Motorcycle Racers, thanked everyone who supported the event in any way.

“The generosity shown by everyone involved has been amazing,” said an organisers’ statement.

“The funds raised will go a long way in supporting Anthony’s recovery.”

Notable attendees over the September weekend included riders at the fundraising event included Miko Sweeney, Derek Shiels, and Kevin Keyes, as well as local racers Andrew Murphy and Stephen Walsh. The event also showcased a stunning collection of racing bikes, including a prized possession once owned by the late Richard Britton.

Friday night raffle was the final event  – the full total of monies raised will be published at a later date – the full list of raffle prizes, sponsors and winners in published here
