Féile
Pride of place this week undoubtedly has to go to all the members who
helped out in any way to make the Féile last weekend such a resounding success.
It was plain to see that a huge amount of work had gone into preparing for the
weekend and all those involved can be extremely proud of how the weekend went
as all the visitors to our grounds from Laois, Mayo, Meath and Tipperary were
full of praise for how well the pitches looked and how professionally things
were run in the field. On the field our young team played some wonderful
hurling in all of their games, before being knocked in the semi final by JK
Brackens of Tipperary, in a game where the referee certainly proved the theory
of the “home” team getting all the decisions. Whilst losing in such a manner is
a tough experience for any team, the happy memories and the friendships which
were formed, will hopefully be the things that the team will remember in the
years to come. Off the field there were also some great friendships formed
between ourselves and members of our visiting teams, especially after Friday
night’s enjoyable gathering in Alice O’Connor’s. Once again well done, to all
our hardworking committee, on a job truly well done.
