Clare Stages Rally.
Rally enthusiasts will be delighted to see the Clare
Stages Rally take a number of stages through the parish on Sun. 17th
September next. Stages 2, 5 and 8 will take in the roads from the
junction at Ballybrody to Drumeer, Kilkee, Drumcavan, Ballaghboy,
Tullyodea, Ruan, Cahermacrea, Dromore, Adroon, Moyrhee Commons, Dromeen
and Castlequarter to the junction at Tubber.
The co-operation and support of the community is
essential on the day and is much appreciated by the organisers, as it
would not be possible to run the event without it, and it is hoped that
the stewarding on the day and the goodwill of everyone on the route will
make it a safe and enjoyable Rally.
All Ireland Fleadh.
The old adage "practice makes perfect" stood the test
last week as Fleadh Cheoil na hEireann came to Ennis and by all accounts
was the one which attracted more people than any other, to date. The
stewarding was remarkable over the week and a number of people from the
local GAA Club, and individuals involved in Comhaltais were part of that
great volunteering effort.
Shannen O'Donovan and Conor Wynne from this parish are
members of the U18 Burren Grupai Cheoil which got 3rd in that
competition. Garry and Majella Shannon also came 3rd with their Burren
u18 Band. Lily O'Connor came 3rd in Concertina (15-18) and she took 1st
with Rosa Carroll in Duets (15-18). Fergal Breen, with Jennifer
Markham and Sinead Mulqueen came 3rd in Trios (O18). Eimear and Holly
O'Loughlin were in the Inchicronan Grupa Ceoil which came 2nd (12-15)
in that competition. Maisie O'Connor is a member of the Tulog Ceili
Band which came 1st in the u12 competition. All who participated in the
competitions, busking and stewarding, and just in taking in the
atmosphere of the week, will have memories to cherish for a long time to
come.
