DEAN SURPRISED BY ‘CRAZY GANG’ 21ST CELEBRATIONS
On Saturday night I headed for Vincie’s Inn On The Park where a rather special surprise 21st birthday party was taking place for Dean Crawley from Woodview Park and there to make sure he had a fantastic night was his mum Sinead, dad David and Elizabeth McCabe from Beechmount Drive, nanny Moira McCabe from Cedarwood Park and girlfriend Siobhan McCartney from Saltown and big collection of relations and friends.
Dean is a builder by trade but is also a huge fan of Irish country music and would be described as one of Nathan Carter’s biggest male fans in the country and had absolutely no idea the party was on, he thought he was just going out for a quiet drink with his parents, only to find a ‘crazy gang’ waiting to celebrate with him.
I wasn’t too long in the door when I met up with Oisin Litchfield from Beechmount Drive who was sitting having a laugh with his mum Caroline and friends Danny English and Christina McCabe both from Beechmount Drive who told me they are good mates with, and wanted to wish a very happy birthday to Deano!
Heading for an adjacent table I then had the pleasure of talking to Mary Ashmore and Ann Ashmore from Woodview Park who wanted to wish their neighbour a very happy birthday and assured me it was going to be a fantastic night for sure.
After this I met up with aunties Mary Finnegan from Readypenny and Bernadette Halpenny from Haggardstown who is also Dean’s godmother and they were with Larry O’Connor from Tallanstown who were in great form and ready to party the night away with the birthday boy.
Making my way over to another table I then had the pleasure of meeting up with Dean’s granny Moira McCabe from Cedarwood Park who was looking forward to a good night of celebrations and I was told on the last time she was out, was partying with the best of them till 6.00am!
Moira was enjoying the company of aunty Aisling McCabe from Cedarwood Park, Stephen Cooney from Cedarwood Park who was with Nicole Crosby from Farndreg and aunty Maeve Gorham from Ashbrook who tried to tell me it was going to be a quiet celebration, as if Maeve, as if!
Seated close by were a group of cousins who included Bonnie Bray from Louth Village, Gav Finnegan from Drumcondrath, Sarah Finnegan from Darver and Annmarie Finnegan from Tallanstown who were already making it a party to remember and had been long before Dean had arrived.
They were also sitting with aunty Delores Crawley from Louth Village who wanted to wish Dean all the best on his 21st and said she was with her daughter Bonnie and brother Kevin Crawley from Castlebellingham.
Finally, before I departed I managed a quick word with Shane Finnegan from Readypenny and Damien Crawley from Dromiskin who wanted to wish their cousin all the best on his big night and they were there to make sure he did!
