Family fun at Semple Field Day

FBD Semple Stadium will be a hive of activity this coming Sunday, September 18, as the famous venue plays host to the Semple Field Day.

The event, which takes place in association with Tipperary GAA, Fiserv and Semple Stadium promises to be a great day out for all the family, with activities and events for both young and not so young throughout the day.

When Fiserv came on board as the official sponsor to Tipperary GAA, they also expressed a genuine interest in supporting local organisations and charities each year through events such as the Semple Field Day, which this year will be in aid of North and South Tipperary Hospice.

Events will get underway at 1pm with a dog show in Semple Stadium, with registration for the event from 11.30am and also at 1pm there will be a monster bingo in the Dome where the prize fund will be an amazing €4,000.

Field events for both kids and adults will commence at 2.30pm, while at 4.30pm there will be an auction and wheel of fortune in the Dome. On the day the car park in Semple Stadium will be transformed into a market area with lots of stalls catering for all interests. Speaking at the launch of the Semple Field Day, Brian Fogarty from Fiserv said that the Semple Field Day promises to be a great day and will hopefully raise some very badly needed funds for the brilliant organisation that is the hospice. Brian also said that it takes over €1.3 million to run the hospice between North and South Tipperary, so every euro raised in Semple Stadium on September 18 will be put to good use and he appealed to the public in Tipperary to come along and make it a day out for all the family.
