GAA ready for Tullamore Red or Black

Plans are being finalised for Offaly GAA's own version of the popular game show Red or Black. The show, which boasts a total prize fund of €5,000, will take place on Friday, October 26 in the Tullamore Court Hotel. MC will be Michael Duignan, while teams taking part include names such as Offaly '82 stars Seamus Darby and Padraig Dunne, Offaly greats Johnny Dooley, John and Jim Troy and Brian Whelehan along with many more. Red or Black sees 20 teams compete in a series of tasks, with the audience supporting either a red or black team. Audience members who support the winning team go on to the next round, while those plumping for the losing side are out. After ten tasks two audience members still in live play will compete for the cash pot. Tasks on the night will include pitch and toss, target shooting, stacking turf and even doing the ironing.
