Congratulations

 

A massive congratulations to Kilbehenny National School on winning the RSA Road safety video competition. This is really what the spirit of Kilbehenny is about. The amount of votes placed was phenomenal with every person in the parish voting non stop, plus the children went all out to get votes and were canvassing at the Colour Run, Limerick Vs Tipperary Match and many more events, where they gathered votes from every corner. Well Done – we are all so proud.

 

ICA

 

Kilbehenny ICA are just back from another super Summer Tour in Dublin, where they visited Dálil Éireann, musems, and more, plus they enjoyed lovely weather,  and the company of a super bus driver and tour guide.

Well done to Limerick U14 Team who won the Silver All Ireland title last weekend with John Quane as their leader.

The Galtee Gael ladies on the team, brought in the win.

Yoga

 

The summer solstice was celebrated in Kilbehenny last Friday night, with people travelling from all over to attend this celebration on the longest day of the year, which was also World Yoga Day. It was an evening of Yoga, dance, meditation and lovely food.
