Pride of Place:
A massive thank you to all Corduff Gaels and Ladies, young and old who contributed in any way to make last Friday's Pride of Place so successful. Gratitude is extended to those who wrote accounts of GAA activities down through the decades in the Corduff/Raferagh Community and to those who gave us the loan of awards, photos etc. We would also like to thank all those who wore the black and amber with pride and participated in the sessions on the pitch. It all contributed to the success of the day.
