St Patricks Day Fun 2013

A great parade enjoyed by all, the show was stolen by Tom & Shane 'acting' out a scene of Angela & Enda protesting at the austerity cuts to the childrens allowance.

We are expecting  a booking for them to appear in the Dail and maybe a trip to Brussels ? Who knows ?






Eamon done well as St Patrick but scared the kids a bit...(me too)

Donallons Cup Results Sunday 10 March

Very cold and windy conditions made fishing difficult with the pike reluctant to take bait, very few fish caught on the day.

1st - Derrick Winter    2nd - Eamon Walsh   3rd - Tom Commons



Chairman Billy Reid presenting the cup to Vice Chairman Derrick Winter.
For the muttering conspirators who noted they were in the same boat there
were witnesses to the catch and weighing. (well you voted us in anyway!)
