With lots on offer the children had a great day out in a safe and friendly environment. Clair Lynch was the starter for the fun races the sack races, the egg and spoon, the three legged race and the wheel barrow races for boys and girls even though this took a little time to get through with everyone was a winner in the end. It was great to see the parents interacting with the younger children in the three legged race. It was hard to tell who was younger the parent or the children.

From the series of fun races we had a twelve aside hurling match with the children from clonpriest N.S. after the first half the yellow team were up by a single goal and the green team had yet to score but a break at half time and a quick run to the barbecue area for refreshments the green team started the second half well putting the yellow tema under lots of pressure which resulted in a few scores to bring them back
into the game.

This was followed by a goal from the yellow team to put them ahead by one point. It must be pointed oput that the standard of refereeing was quite high and it was great to see the gem moving without the interruption of so many frees. I think the whistle blew for half time two 65′s one free and full time. Thanks to our referee Sean Harnedy and his team of linesmen and umpires for a great job. Once the match was over the a set of medals was presented to both teams for a great sporting game.

With the sun shining, music through the loudspeakers, face painting with Martina Cassidy and bouncy castles at full tilt. The food from the barbecue by Henry Nicholson, assisted by Declan and Dave satisfied many a hunger on the day.
A big well done to all who took part and to Sean Harnedy and his committee foor their hard work. To Eddie O Brien for getting stall ready first ting Ciara Lynch for organising the kiddies races and To Shane Supple our MC on the day well done

A big thanks must also go to Supervalue Youghal for their help and sponsorship of the prizes and sweets for the children on the day to Sully and all the staff we say thanks.
Here’s looking forward to next year.
