He thanked all people that gave donations for the various stalls, gave donations of prizes and monetary donations and thanked Paddy O’Gorman and family for use of the field once again. 2018 will be 50th Field Day and there will be photographic display of the last 50 years so start looking through the archives for those old pictures.

LADIES’ FOOTBALL
Our Junior A team had a great win in the semi-final on Tuesday the 01 of August beating Castletown 7-07 to 4-11. Castletown made a great start and were winning by four points at half time but in a blistering second half which saw the lead change hands several times our girls came out on top by five points.
This was a brilliant game of football and hopefully now they can go ahead and win the final vs Bunclody in St Patrick’s park at 7 p.m. on Saturday, August 19.
Great credit must also go to the Taghmon GAA management committee for having the pitches and complex in fantastic condition.
