Knocknagre­e Lip Sync is a smash hit for GAA club

- JOHN TARRANT

LEGENDS of the stage convened for the Knocknagre­e GAA Does Lip Sync in the presence of 1,000 fans with some of the best boy and girl bands, in the company of individual acts and groups, creating a brilliant atmosphere at the INEC, Killarney, last Friday night.

Those interested in pop and rock artists going back over the decades had a night to remember while a selection of more current idols held the interest of the younger generation. Outright honours belonged to a familiar duo known for their exploits off and on the stage – Beyonce and Jay Z in the disguise of Caroline O’Connor and Shaun McSweeney.

At the show, Knocknagre­e club chairman Jeremiah Moynihan spoke of a marvellous year for the club and community both on and off the field.

“We have had great days out between the Mayor of Knocknagre­e campaign, our minors winning the North Cork Championsh­ip and that famous day in Páirc ui Rinn when we won the County Junior Championsh­ip as we now face into a Munster Final. This success does not come easy so I want to thank all our volunteers who put their time and effort into the club,” he said.

“We have made a big effort in fundraisin­g this year and I would like to thank everyone for helping and supporting the various events that took place.

I want to thank all the participan­ts here tonight for their time and the commitment they have given to Lip Sync. It has been a very enjoyable few weeks working with them”, said Jeremiah.

Each act was sponsored by local businesses and a total of 12 groups worked on their song and dance routines over the past month. Proceeds from the venture go towards club developmen­ts.
