Half-Time Raffle Proceeds To Go To #TeamFarren

Supporters at tonight's game will have the opportunity to support the ongoing efforts to raise funds for former Derry City striker and all-time top-scorer of the Candystripes, Mark Farren.

Farren has been battling a life-threatening condition for six years after being diagnosed with a brain tumour that brought a halt to his football career, and now requires treatment abroad which will cost approximately 30,000 euro.

All proceeds raised from tonight's half-time raffle at Richmond Park will be donated to the #TeamFarren fund, with the prizes on offer tonight being a signed St Patricks Athletic jersey and a signed Shamrock Rovers jersey.

Both clubs have organised this draw along with Umbro/Warrior who have provided tonight's jerseys.

Raffle tickets will be on sale inside the ground on Friday, with prices set at 2 euro per row or 3 rows for 5 euro.

Both St Patrick's Athletic and Shamrock Rovers ask that everyone supports tonight's draw and the efforts to fundraise for Mark Farren.
