Santa Claus Visits MacDonagh Park
On Saturday morning the juvenile club held their annual Christmas party for our brilliant young boys and girls and amazingly, the big man himself showed up with presents for everyone. They all promised him that they’d be extremely good between now and Christmas Day so parents that means beds will be dressed, bedrooms kept clean and tidy and dishes washed while homework will be completed with a smile on their faces! A special thank you goes to Santa Claus himself who made the morning so magical and memorable for our juveniles.

The parents and mentors of our juvenile teams had their Christmas party in the Hibernian Inn on Saturday evening and we’re glad to report that everyone had a great night reminiscing on the year just gone while excitedly looking forward to the year to come. Strangely, no photographs have been made available from the night!
Juveniles Collect Their Medals from 2018
Congratulations to our under-11, under-13 and Community Games teams who were presented with their medals on Saturday in the complex. A special presentation was made to the All-Ireland winning Community Games management team in acknowledgement of their hard work and commitment to the club. Our thanks go to Tipperary senior hurler Jake Morris for the inspirational talk he gave to the boys and his help in presenting the medals, Danielle and the Hi-B staff for the excellent refreshments afterwards and Roisín at The Watch Centre for all of her help with medals and trophies. Well done to all involved and we can’t to see everyone again in 2019.
