Paddy Hennessy of Ballyroan RIP

The death occurred on Saturday 23rd July of Paddy Hennessy of Ballyroan, Borrisoleigh. His Funeral Mass took place in the Sacred Heart Church Borrisoleigh on Monday 25th July with burial in St. Brigid’s Cemetery. We offer our deepest sympathies to his family and friends. May he rest in peace.

 Saints All-Stars Summer Camp 

Paddy surrounded by Tipp players of the future!!


This summer camp proved to be a great success for all the kids as well as the coaches. The kids enjoyed the variety of sports on offer and the mix of local and non-local coaches thoroughly enjoyed how the week went off. No matter what your preference of sport, each had activities to suit any skill, gender or age.  We had a big turn out of more than 140 youngsters who all got a memento on the last day.

Noel McGrath giving a few tips while signing autographs!


We had six intercounty hurlers present including Lar Corbett, Noel McGrath and Brendan Maher whom the kids were very excited to meet. The hope is that through experiencing some of the most popular sports in Ireland, it will give children who normally have only the option of GAA a chance to try something that they may be very good at. Being active and healthy is one of main health concerns in modern times so hopefully we will have turned a couple of children onto a new activity to get them out of the house and away from the couch.
 

Some of the action from the camp


Heads together lads!
 

Finally I want to thank Mike Ryan for taking the pictures, as well as the people who helped out with the medical kit and supervising the youngsters when the coaches were getting breaks. The town park committe and GAA club were also very co-operative regarding using the facilities. The coaches and I very much appreciate all the support.
