It’s still not too late to purchase a horse for € 40 from any member of the Race Committee or from the Club Bar before Friday. There will be a prize on the night for the best dressed lady and gent. There will also be Tote facilities. The night is always a great social occasion so please join us. The first race is at 8.30pm.

Sympathy It was with great sadness that we all heard of the death of Radio Kerry legend Weeshie Fogarty. His unique voice lit up all our lives especially his commentaries on Kerry games. He leaves a great void for all who knew and loved him. We offer our sincere sympathy to Joan, Kieran, Denise, Carolann and all his extended family. Ar dheis De go raibh a anam.
