Sympathies
We’d like to express the sympathies of all at the club to the Farrell family, Cloonmorris on the death of Mary and also the Daly family Moheraven on the death of Tommy, one of the oldest people in the local area, who was a member of the 1928 Annaduff team and died recently aged 102. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a n-anamacha uilig.

Engagement
Our congratulations to club player and current Set dancing sensation John “Barnes” Shanley, on his engagement at the weekend to long time girlfriend Louise Crowe from Dromod. It was proof positive that the Bors are indeed getting very cosmopolitan as hot on the heels of Brian Mallon’s proposal in Rome, John got on the knee in the City of love itself, Paris.
Indeed, whoever is planning the next Ceist Mór will have to really think hard to trump the two lads! In any case, the best of luck to you both and we all hope you have a very happy life together.
