A record number took part in our annual puc fada on St. Stephen’s Day. This year all funds raised were donated to Marymount Hospice. We also had a Puc Gearr for our junior members on the club grounds.
The winners of the primary competition for the John Hickey Perpetual Cup were Adam Dunne, Chris Dunne and Aaron Lehane. Kathleen Hickey and other members of the Hickey family were present. John’s grandson PJ O’Donovan presented the cup.
Juliann Hayes, Niamh Collins and Annette Magner won the Ladies Competition. The Juvenile Girls Competition was won by Olivia Looney, Ruby Forrest and Abby Forde.
The Rowan O’Connell Perpetual Cup was present by the late Rowan’s father Don to the overall Juvenile Winners. The winning team here comprised of Joe Couglan, Tommy Forrest and James Linehan.
It was great to have so many attend and to enjoy it so much. However, the competition does not organise itself. Thanks to all those that organised, marshalled, helped make soup and sandwiches, promoted etc. Happy New Year to all!
