Wicklow last Sunday and also to Aoibhinn Sharkey who WON the Leinster Under 14 CX Championship at the same venue. Great to see Stamullen RC riders doing so well in this particular section of the sport.
Massive thanks due to everyone who supported our Xmas Poker last Friday night in Whyte’s Function Room. It was a full house + extra table and as usual, all present were treated to lovely hot food on the night. It really was very enjoyable. You can’t run an event like this without the help of wonderful people, Pat Fogarty, Kathleen Gough, Mary Davitt, Brendan Battersby & Staff and Poker Players. This year people came along and gave bottles of spirits, bottles of wine & boxes of quality sweets for the Raffle. You know who you are, so thanks a million.
