Kildorrery our next opposition in North Cork HL

-

There was a great atmosphere around Castletown­roche village on Sunday last, with the first St Patrick’s Day parade, organised by the Castletown­roche Events committee. A huge crowd lined the route and it was great to see so many people participat­e in the parade. The GAA Club was very well represente­d, with the adult and juvenile sections taking part. Thankfully, the weather held up and after the conclusion of the parade a large crowd assembled in the hall for refreshmen­ts and were entertaine­d by musicians and dancers. A huge thanks to all of the volunteers in the Events committee for organising yet another memorable event.
