Great music, food and cocktails are on the menu in The Ashe Hotel this Friday night.
Eclecto brings the beats while in Alfie’s with a vintage cocktail bar, pizzas and platters. The perfect way to kick off the weekend.
The entertainment continues on Saturday night with the super talented Liam Kennelly while on Sunday night it’s the turn of the wonderful Jack Patrick Healy, Ireland’s No.1 piano entertainer.
Saturday
4. Derby day…
The Credit Union county league resumes this weekend and the pick of the action sees Austin Stacks make the short trip to rivals Kerins O’Rahillys for a local derby.
The seniors have met twice in the last couple of months with Kerins O’Rahillys winning the Town League final in mid April, but Austin Stacks defeated them in a relegation playoff game on the May Bank Holiday weekend.
The game throws-in at 7.30pm. The other pick of the games is at John Mitchels where they face the daunting task of hosting Dr Crokes at 6.30pm.
