Louth Young at Heart senior citizens real winner of Jayo/Tig Hig Buster

On Friday evening I headed for Herity's Bar in Dromiskin for the finale of the Jayo/Tig Hig Football Buster was taking place. The buster has been run on the English Premiership since 2020 and along with regular winners; it also donates a portion of the money connected to the local 60 + Young At Heart senior citizen group who were in receipt of €1000 on the night.
I wasn't too long in the door when I met proprietor Eoghan Herity who told me they had been running the buster before 2020 and were approached by local Jason Mulligan who helped to increase the interest in the buster and hugely increased the numbers actively taking part. Unfortunately Jay passed away soon after and as the numbers increased, the organisers decided to honour the man by calling it the Jayo/Tig Hig Buster.
