The parents got to watch their kids in comfort with tea and biscuits served to them , while the players after putting in the effort in their matches were then entertained by , some of the U14 Feile winners from the club with a sing a long and an array of games . This was the fifth day out for all these teams and after the camogie and entertainment were finished all the teams sat in the middle of the hall and had a christmas sing song , during which the man from the North pole on hearing "JingleBells " made a magical appearance to the delight of all the kids.
