BREAKFAST MORNING
The recent breakfast morning in aid of of Clongeen’s underage camogie girls and Coiste na nÓg was a huge success. A big thank you to Markie and Anne Sinnott, who put great effort into putting up the Christmas decorations and ensuring that everything went off without a hitch in their excellent premises.
To everyone who helped in any way, particularly to those who gave donations, to those who did the cooking and to those who worked so hard serving the food and looking after everyone during the morning. To our supporters who turned up and enjoyed their breakfast, we are eternally grateful. Without your continuing support we would not be able to carry on.
The funds collected will be well spent on the young Gaelic players in the parish. Thank you again and hopefully we will see you all for another ‘Full Irish’ sometime in the not too distant future.
