Youth club was a great success again on Friday night with the younger group having a Minecraft party and the older group celebrating the Chinese new year.  A good night was had by all.

On Saturday night Glasdrumman AOH hall resounded with the sounds of pounding hooves, excited cries and betting slips flying through the air.  Glasdrumman  G.A.C.'s Night at The Races was under starter's orders. As each race was put up on the big screen  we had some wonderful combinatons of horses and jockeys ranging from the sublime Istabraq with Tommy Carberry to My Lovely Horse with Father Dougall Maguire, from  He Fell over ridden by Stevie G to the  Ballagh Cowboy ridden by Quiney Boy and many more.  Andy and Ciaran  ensured that odds were called and races run.  A great night's craic was had by who attended.  Club Chairman  Gary Mc Greevy thanked all who had sponsored races, bought horses,, collected the bets, served the teas , took adverts out in our racing programme and Glasdrumman AOH for the use of their premises for the event.

On Sunday the Club's run in the Senior Scor came to an honourable end in Saval.  Despite great performances by Declan Grant in the solo singing, Declan, Donna ,Sean and Tony in the Ballad Group  there were no complaints as the solo singers and ballad groups from Rostrevor and Clonduff progress to represent South Down in the County Final  next Sunday in St. Malachy's High School Castlewellan. Worthy winners and runners up in both sections.  Congratulations also to Attical for their succesin the Leiriu section. We wish all the South Down representatives from Glenn and Ballyholland in Recitation, Mayobridge in Set dancing, Ballyholland and Mayobridge in Ceili dancing  and Clonduff and Mayobridge in instrumental music.
