Beer,'. showed that a nett profit of a little over £40 had been made on the day.' it was stated that this very satisfactory result was largely due to the generqus support of the public and thte business people of Shannon, and several meimtoers of the committee spoke in appreciation of it. It was also stated that after the accounts for the season had been finalised, the club would have a credit balance in excess of £100.
