Vicky has been out to see No. 57 Castlepark, Termonfeckin along with Aidan Greene from St. Fechin’s who handed her the keys. What a win, what a prize. Congratulations Vicky from everyone.

According to St. Fechin’s Chairman John Mc Evoy, the Draw was a great success, very well supported otherwise building the Community Centre could not be considered as it is a huge project. John said there was a great turnout on the night of the Draw and there was great excitement for all the winners. He expressed his thanks to all members of St. Fechin’s GAA, Fr. Paul Byrne P.P., Gerry Kelly from LMFM who was MC on the night and the local Superintendent of An Garda Siochana Andrew Watters who ensured the Draw ran smoothly. All funds raised will go towards the construction of the new Community Centre at Pairc Naomh Feichin. Congratulations again to all the winners and thanks to everyone who came to the event on December 30th. From all of us at St Fechins GAA have a very Happy New Year.
