Congratulations Congrats to Kilbrin native Kate Lewis who was announced the winner of the Irish Hair & Beauty Awards for beauty Salon of the year 2017, for the South West Region of Ireland, at the Crown Plaza Hotel, Dublin, on Sunday night last. We wish Kate the best of luck in the future.
Kilbrin hurlers had a comprehensive win over Tullylease in the semi-final of the championship on Sunday last in Newmarket.
FINAL
Kilbrin play Banteer in the Duhallow final on this Saturday at 2 pm in Newmarket. Kilbrin under trainer Peter Finn and selectors Ivan O Sullivan and Pat Dennehy have worked hard in training and hope fully their hard work will pay off. Kilbrin have been very unfortunate to lose their captain Liam Daly and Niall Field to injuries, but I’m sure both players will play every puck of the ball in the game.
Kilbrin know that they have a huge task in hand on Saturday and nothing less than a one hundred percent effort from every player will do on the day. Please come out and support the team who have given us great enjoyment over the years.
BEST OF LUCK
Congratulations to Boherbue who won the Duhallow Football championship recently and best wishes to them on Saturday when they play the first round of the county.
