County chairman, Michael Bourke, North chairman, Dan Kennedy and North secretary, Marian Minehan, were in attendance. Kealan and Jack McGrath provided musical entertainment while Tom Williams gave a rousing rendition of “The Ballad of Thomas MacDonagh”. Bawney Hayes had the gathering in stitches as he recited “The Winning Goal”. Eamon O’Dwyer from Tipp FM was on hand to record an edition of his popular programme “Down Your Way”. Thanks to all who supplied the refreshments and to the ladies who looked after the catering on the night.
