BEST WISHES

We extend best wishes to the Charleville Junior Hurling team in their quest to reach the All Ireland Club Final. On Sunday next January they are back in action in the All Ireland semi-final when they take on Warwickshire side Fullen Gaels in Walsh Park, Waterford at 1 o clock. I recent years Meelin and Fr. O Neills have claimed National Honours in this grade so a win for Charleville on Sunday would see them through to a Croke Park Final. The other semi-final is between Ballygar of Galway and St. Patricks of Ballyragget, Kilkenny and also takes place on next Sunday. This game is in Nenagh.

SET DANCING.

Set Dancing has undergone a huge revival in recent years and it is great to see so many interested in this pastime. Weekly Classes in Set Dancing have commenced each Wednesday night in the Rathcormac Inn and all are welcome.
