A raffle was held with loads of prizes for all those who sponsored Bridy and heartfelt thanks to everyone and also those who bought lines on the night.

We have just heard of the tragic death of Tom Harney at the match in Baltinglass. Tom was born and reared in Irishtown and played juvenile and minor football for Donard. He settled in Dunlavin and was deeply involved in the juvenile scene. He was selector on quite a few under age teams who won County Championships including the Minors who won the championship in 1993. On behalf of all our clubs we would like to sympathize with Bridget and all her family.
