IT’S going to be some St Patrick’s weekend and the festivities will kick off with bang when the second Kerins O’Rahillys GAA ‘Strictly Club Dancing’ event takes place.

Chairman of the club, Haulie Kerins, introduced each dancing duo who are eagerly looking forward to taking to the floor at the Brandon Hotel Conference Centre on Friday, March 16.

Haulie also thanked all the sponsors, especially Ballyseedy Home & Garden Centre who are the main sponsor.

Tickets priced at €20 will be available shortly from the club house and other outlets – further details will be announced on social media over the coming weeks.
