THANK YOU

Many thanks to all the members of Des and Peter’s B-Fit team who worked so hard to ensure the success of ‘This is your Life’ on Easter Sunday, in Riverside Park Hotel. It was a wonderful parish-based celebration of the sporting life of a local hero. Anyone, who unavoidably missed the event can read an excellent account of the proceedings on wexfordweekly.
