Night to remember for Michael’s 30th

-

ONE party I certainly wasn’t going to miss on Friday night was Michael Lawlor from Castleross’ 30th which was taking place in the Clans and by the time I got there, the party was in full swing.

I caught up with Michael who was with mum Theresa, dad Jason and family Ira, Ellie and ÓShea, fiancé Rachel Murden and kids Sophie, Tiernan and Kyran and a good collection of family and friends.

I wasn’t too long in the door when I met up with Michael who works in Moffetts who had no idea everyone was waiting for them and wanted to thank everyone for coming.

Next, I got a word with Michael McAleer and Amanda Quinn both from Castleross who wanted to wish all the best to their neighbour and were up for a mad one.

I then headed over to a table where I got talking to one of Michael’s besties Joanne Grimes from Cedarwood Park who was having a laugh with Aoife McGinn from Toberona, Rachel’s aunt Tara Murden from St. Marys Court, Gemma Kearney from Saltown and Connor Murden from Ashling Park who assured me it was going to be a totally mental night for sure.

They were joined by ÓShea Lawlor from Peter Street and Aoife McGrane from Cooley Park who wanted to wish Michael all the best on his big surprise night.

After this I got a word with Michael’s mum Theresa Bashford who was with Brian Gaskin from Cherryvale who were certainly up for making it a fantastic night for her son.

Heading for another table I got talking to Michael’s dad Jason originally from London now from The Quay who was having a chat with daughter Elle and Coco Mulvenna from Muirhevnam­or and brother Ira Lawlor from Peter Street who wanted to wish his big bro all the best on his 30th.

the crowds I then met up with Conal McGee from Farndreg, John Casey from Castleross, Aidan Cooney from Barton Park and Caoibhín Leonard from Woodview Park who were going to have an insane night with everyone there.

At an adjacent table I then got talking to Lee Brennan from Fatima Drive, Shannon Murden from Ashling Park, Conor McGuinness from Hackballsc­ross and Michael’s

cousin Karl O’Connor from Bellewsbri­dge Road who were all making the best of the party and were there to make sure Michael had a mad night, whether he wanted to or not!

Finally, before I departed, I got a word with Rachel’s uncle and cousin Sean and Seanie Murden from St. Marys Court who assured me it was going to be an epic celebratio­n for Michael and the rest of the family.
