St Stephen’s Day Run/Walk/Cycle Cancelled
Due to the uncertainty caused by Covid-19 this Christmas, a decision has been made to call off this years run/walk. Please God next year we’ll be back to normality and we’ll be back bigger and better. Thanks for your support of the last number of years and we look forward to seeing you all on St Stephen’s Day 2021.
Have a happy and safe Christmas

Glenkeen information board
From Glenkeen graveyard recently, where the second side of the information board was put in place. But for the Corona virus and the accompanying restrictions, this would most surely have been another great occasion in that historic place. However, Derry and Alice Bourke were on hand for the occasion and also son Paudie, who played a number of airs on the bagpipes.
