A Glenbeigh family have an extra €1,000 in their pockets - and just in time for the festive season - thanks to Lee Stand's Milk Doorstep Challenge.

Anthony Clifford won the sum and was delighted when he and his father Pat collected it from Lee Stand's headquarters in Tralee on Friday afternoon.

To celebrate one year since the launch of Lee Strand’s 100% renewable 2 litre cartons, Radio Kerry presenters travelled across the county to see who made the environmental switch and had the 2 litre cartons in their fridge.

On lucky day 13, Radio Kerry’s Alan Finn called to the Clifford household in mid-Kerry.

“Thanks a million it’s great, we are all big Lee Strand milk drinkers for years and the new 2 litre carton is fantastic for the environment," Anthony said. 

Anthony’s father Pat, who is 92 years young, mentioned that he has been drinking plenty of Lee Strand for over 70 years in his tea and recommended it highly to everybody.

A total of 14 daily finalists were delighted to receive a hamper full of Lee Strand products when Radio Kerry called to their home. The grand finale took place on Kerry’s Full Breakfast when Andrew Morrissey drew Anthony Clifford’s name.

“We were delighted with the return of the Lee Strand Doorstep Challenge on Radio Kerry," Gearoid Linnane, CEO said.

"The response has been very positive a year on since we launched our new 2 litre cartons. We would like to thank our customers for their continued support and for making the switch from plastic.”
