• 2,30 – Sinead O’Brien Dance School from Blessington will be doing a cool Dance Demo
• 3PM – Pet Show – top five prizes – You Can see the number one prize below, kindly donated by Blazin’Tails Doggy Day care
• 3.30PM – We have a Fencing Demo from Lee and the Local Blessington Fencing Club
• 3.50PM – Novelty Tug of War
• 4PM – We have a 30 minutes Juvenile GAA Match with the Cill Bhride Under 10’s and a visiting team
• 4.30PM – Athletics
• 5PM – Final Dog Trial and Winner
• 5.15M – Raffle Draw – you can buy a ticket online (see link) or on the day: https://www.kilbridegaa.com/product/manor-kilbride-field-day-raffle-2024/
• Short Fun Races throughout the day.

^This is a rough schedule

Stalls and Games on the Day

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!
