Beale GAA Club extend sympathies to the families of Bridie Griffin and

Kit Guerin, who have passed to their eternal reward. The Griffin and Fogarty names are synonymous with the club, both on and off the pitch. Last Christmas they were very much to the fore in Strictly Come Dancing, when John and Máire Griffin took centre stage along with James Fogarty and Leesha and Corey Meehan. In previous years, other family members also took part in our Christmas show. Down the years, both families have worn the club colours at all age levels and the tradition still continues as Caitrín Griffin and Maura Doran play with Beale Ladies, alongside Teegan Meehan and Millie Byrnes, while Leigh Meehan and Oisín, Aaron and Fiachra Buckley LOTTO. The last Lotto draw was held in McCarthy’s bar last Saturday. The numbers drawn were 3, 5, 23 and 25. There was no winner of the jackpot. Lucky dip prizes were won by–Eamon O Sullivan, Tullig (€30); Garrett Donoghue, Cragg, Mary Stack, Knockeen, Jacki Brosnan, Laccabawn and Ivan Stuart Castleisland (€20 each)

The next draw will be held in Fagin’s bar on Saturday 24th. Jackpot €4200. Desmond’s offer their sincere sympathy to Dan O Connor and Sheila Herlihy on the death of their brother Con O Connor, Dublin.
