THERE was over 200 people in The Rose Hotel on Saturday night as families from around north Kerry pitted their wits against each other in aid of Scoil Mhuire Gan Smál, Lixnaw.

The school, together with Trendhouse Events, put on a Family Gameshow, based on popular television shows “Family Fortunes” and “Mr & Mrs”.

Host Elaine Kinsella of Radio Kerry proved a great MC interviewing the contestants and there was great fun had by all with general knowledge questions and testing how well they know each other.

The teams taking part were The Gilberts (The G-String Team); The Molloys (The Outsiders); The Lynes (The Lyne Queens); The Stacks (The Coursing Clan); The Kellihers (The Gigglers); The O’Mahony-Maunsells (Simpsons Family and Friends); The Keanes (The Stage Family); The Sheehys (The Bog Road Bandits) and The Heffernans (The Holy Family).

In the end there could be only one winner and The Sheehys were the champions and received their prizes before DJ Tony entertained the crowds into the night. The event raise much-needed funds for necessary refurbishments to the school. Scroll down for photos…
