The players assembling for Niblick 2011

I am very pleased to confirm that we raised £350 last Tuesday during the 30th Playing of The Foley Niblick and I would like to thank those who took part in this most enjoyable day. Your presence and generosity ensured that a great time was had by all and that we raised a significant amount of money to help Fr Chris McGuinness in his ministry. A cheque has been sent to St Patrick's Missionary Society for the above amount to be forwarded to Fr Chris.

Our winner on the day For the Niblick was Phil Gidman. Second was Andrew Brzezina and Third Peter Frisby.
