Wishing all a merry Christmas and peace, goodwill and good health for 2020

 

Dates to remember

 

                         12th December - Kilbehenny School Concert

 

GAA

 

Galtee Gaels  under 21 team travelled to Bruff on Saturday to play the home team in the South A championship final.   A strong Gaels team which included 6 of the panel that won the intermediate final  a couple of weeks ago, took to the field on the day.   Unfortunately, the lads went down to the Bruff/Banogue amalgamation on a scoreline of 1 - 14 to 1 - 11 on the day.   A disappointing end to what has been a historic year for our small club.

The club would like to thank all their supporters who travelled far and wide to cheer on all the Gaels teams at both club na nOg and adult level.

 

The best of luck to the ladies Minor team who are scheduled to play their final this weekend.

 

 

THANK YOU TO ALL WHO CAME ALONG TO OUR CHRISTMAS MEAL

 

Last Saturday night was a magical night in our community hall for the occasion of  our annual Christmas Meal.   The hall looked magical with lights, trees and decorations.     A huge thank you to everybody who helped in any way, whether it be putting up trees and decorating them  or putting up the Christmas lights.   To all the people who helped out on the day to prepare the hall and everybody who helped to tidy up afterwards.    These things just don't happen, it takes a lot of commitment and hard work to put all this together - so to everybody a huge "Thank You".  Also Thank You to Eileen Condon for the beautiful Christmas meal which she put up to 100 people, along with her wonderful staff.  

I cannot let the moment go without saying Well done to our wonderful DSP team who work so hard for the betterment of Kilbehenny and its hinterland.

The hall committee are very grateful to the people who sponsored raffle prizes on the night.

 

ICA

 

9 members of our ICA guild spent a lovely 2 days in An Grianan last week.    An Grianan is the motherhouse of the ICA.    We were treated like royalty.   Everybody came home refreshed and delighted with the welcome received.

 

SOCIAL DANCING

 

The final monthly dance for 2019 will take place in the community centre on Friday 20th December with the wonderful Brian McDermott taking to the stage.   A great night of entertainment is assured.

 

Monday night dancing is finishing on Monday 9th December and will be recommencing in February.
