As the dust settles on what has been our biggest fundraiser to date we reflect on what an amazing community we live in. The whole parish bought into this event which was to raise funds for the development of the facilities in Tom Ryall Park, Kilmanagh for Graigue Ballycallan GAA Club and St. Brigid’s Camogie Club. Massive effort was put in by the 10 acts who entertained us on the night and massive effort was put in by the Organising Committee who ensured everything ran so smoothly on the night. A special thanks to Tracy Millea who pushed this idea from the very start and could foresee that it would be a winner. We will have a more detailed report and some more photos in the coming days but for now a massive well done and thanks to anyone who helped with or supported this event in any way!

As there has been reams written about our final in the local newspapers and spoken about on local radio, it is perhaps best to leave it to pictures to see what this famous victory has meant to both club and parish. To each and every one of the players and management team we salute you as worthy champions!! Last year’s defeat in the final only served to strengthen your resolve and promises made by you at the 2017 home-coming have undeniably been fulfilled! What happened on Sunday 28th October 2018 had to be seen to be believed! The journey has only begun for this group of young and (young at heart) players!!! The Leinster Campaign beckons and the journey continues for Kilkenny’s newest recruits to the Senior ranks.!!
What a day Sunday 28th October 2018 was, the Michael Lyng Motors Intermediate Hurling Championship Final will be remembered for many years to come. The day our wonderful Intermediate hurlers stepped up to the mark and won against our neighbours Tullaroan on a scoreline of 2-16 to 2-13. We looked like we were dead and buried in the 28th minute when we were 9 points down but the lads put in a fantastic 2nd half performance to win by 3 points. Well done to the players and management team for giving us a year to remember!
We would like to wish our Intermediate hurlers the very best of luck in the County Final tomorrow Sunday 28th October. The match throws in at 1pm in Nowlan Park and we are up against our neighbours Tullaroan. Here’s a selection of photos from around the parish in the build-up to the match! Graigue Ballycallan Abú!
