AGM
A healthy attendance gathered in the clubroom on last Friday night for the Annual General Meeting that was preceded by Mass for deceased members in Cloughjordan Church. In their report, secretary Mary McLoughney and assistant secretary Gilbert Williams gave a comprehensive review of activities during 2017.

Beannachtaí na Nollag
The Kilruane MacDonaghs club would like to wish its supporters, players, committee and officials a peaceful Christmas and a New Year blessed with good health and filled with contentment.
