ZEN

Today's zen is from a clip published by the Irish Independent. St. Eunan’s GAA club of Letterkenny had its very own Father Ted moment during their annual Christmas Draw. The raffle was facilitaed by club chairman John Haran with the assistance of his son Ollie. Hilariously, Ollie managed to pick his families name on the first go! John didn't want to accept the prize but Ollie had different ideas. You can watch the clip by following the link by clicking here.
