learned how to properly coach juveniles and how to referee a Go Games blitz. The course was very
beneficial to those interested in GAA.
On Wednesday last, the Transition Years went on a trip to Ashbourne Co Meath where they visited Tayto Park. They enjoyed the attractions such as the Cú Chulainn rollercoaster, Ireland’s first rollercoaster and Europe’s largest wooden rollercoaster. A great day was had by all.

Mary Lennon – RIP
The choir who pulled out all the stops and made the Mass a very special one for Mary. She was once a leading voice of the choir in her young days. She loved to hear the Choir sing at Sunday Mass and thought they sang “like angels”.
The music at the grave side was simply amazing with Noel singing the song Mary requested, A Working Man, thank you Johnny, Phil and Oliver both young and old for their collaboration in giving our song bird a great send off. I’m sure she loved every note.
Finally our thanks to Father Liam and Father Tom for a beautiful Mass and the servers for assisting.
Seamus Kennedy who, as always, carried out his duties as a true professional.
They just don’t make them like Mary and her generation anymore.
