Na Gaeil GAA Club News

One Wedding and a Funeral    The clubhouse was packed to the rafters on Saturday evening last to attend the hilarious comedy ‘One Wedding and a Funeral.

And what a treat lay in store for all that attended. It was an absolutely brilliant show. For mostly amateur actors their performance was just amazing and they had the wedding guests rolling with laughter from start to finish. It was one of the best night’s entertainment ever in Na Gaeil Clubhouse and it just shows what wonderful talent we have in the club.

So hats off to all the cast and crew, writer/director and production manager. Their hard work and dedication over the last three months was really evident in their magnificent performance. The guests were served up a most delicious meal which everybody thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you to all those that prepared the food for the occasion, to the waitresses and to the bar staff that served everybody so efficiently.

We extend big thank you also to our organist, photographer, D.J, tote man, venue decorator, costume co-ordinator, florist, video producer, technical assistance and sound engineer and marquee provider.

It was a great team performance with everybody putting their shoulder to the wheel. Well done to you all. If people want to see lovely photos from the night go into the Na Gaeil Wedding Facebook page or click here for TraleeToday.ie’s coverage

Well done to Jack Barry who lined out at midfield for Kerry in round 2 of the McGrath Cup against Cork in Mallow on Sunday.

He was very solid all through and was upended in the square in the first half to win a penalty for Kerry which James O’Donoghue converted.

Well done also to his younger brother Andrew who played at no. 6 for the Kerry under 21 team the previous Sunday and put in a man of the match performance when they defeated the Tipperary senior team in the first round of the McGrath Cup.
