Music on the night will be provided by Albert Webster. An enjoyable night is guaranteed and we would like all committee members and players to come along and support the boxers.Our senior footballers have their first outing next Saturday in the Willie Byrne Memorial Cup which will be held in Pearses Park, Arklow. This is a tournament we won last year and set us on the road to Intermediate success.
Congratulations to Des Burton who won first place in the Recitation act in the County Scor finals recently and we wish him every success in the next round.

Spring is definitely in the air….the early morning birdsong is proof enough and of course the obvious stretch in the evenings. Speaking of birds, have you seen the wonderful hand-crafted bird houses at your local Town & Country Market at the Pavilion on Rednagh Rd. Talk to Tanya and Daragh of ‘Home Tweet Home’ and do drop in to see their lovely little birdie houses made from reclaimed natural wood and slate. We also have a wonderful array of delicious farm fresh food, meat, free range eggs, fresh home baking, handmade preserves and much more. Do drop in where you will receive a thousand welcomes and service with a smile. And of course sit a while and enjoy the atmosphere in Cafe Cois Tine as you enjoy your cuppa and delicious homemade fare lovingly prepared by the lovely Annie.
