Music at the Field Day…

We have some live musical delights on Sunday at our Field Day…the one and only Fionn Whelan of Western Gaels and Blessington Club’s will be on stage at 2.30 until 3PM and from 3.15PM Mick Bealin Jr and Martin Shannon will play a traditional set. Should be a real treat.

If any local artists would like to play a short set, you are more than welcome, just reach out.

And really something special, throughout the day, local gent Trevor Gyves from the famous The Gramophone Social will be turning back time….incredible show and a delight. Don’t miss it.

See The Gramophone Social website.

And finally at 3PM, we have Ciaran from the St. Joseph’s Pipe Band leading the Kevin’s U11’s and Cil Bhride U11’s onto the pitch for the parade before their match. Should be very special for our young bhoys and girls.

We will have the usual fun games and stalls including, Pony Rides, Sumo Games (Final around 4PM), Goldfish, Face Painting, Duck Game, Golf, Hanging Man (who can hang the longest), High and Low Game, RAM BO is back and more to keep all entertained!

We have a very special game for the first time, big thanks to local engineer, Paul Murphy who designed and engineered our Dunk Tank…we have a few Special Guests who will be the target and you can always dare your friends.  Rumour is the Chairman will be first in, the referee everything loves to hate…Noel Kinsella, maybe Justin Cummins, Mick Ruttle, anyone else??  Add your comments below…Are there any newly elected representatives interested?

Note – bring a towel along on the day and spare cloths!
