The second annual Kilmacabea GAA Quiz took place in The Leap
Inn on Thursday 27th of December last. A large crowd was in
attendance for what turned out to be a hugely enjoyable evening. A lot of head
scratching went on as twenty-six teams were tested on their knowledge of topics
ranging from local sport to agricultural definitions. After
five rounds of intense concentration and no little brain power the winners
emerged as the quartet of Alexei O’Leary, Clara Wolfe, Liam Wolfe and John O
Donovan (the quay). Congratulations to the winning team and to all who took
part and helped make the night a great success.
A raffle was also held on the night as a fundraiser for the
junior player’s fund, and at time of writing the figure raised was approx €1500. The
presentation of medals to the victorious Junior 3 also took place with the
team’s manager Noel Crowley as master of ceremonies. Noel thanked all the
player’s who lined out throughout the year and mentioned that thirty four
players had taken to the field for the second team in 2012. Noel recently
celebrated a personal milestone which was also acknowledged on the night.
Club members are also reminded that voting is still open for
Player, Young Player (under 16) and Club Person of the year and that these
nominations can be sent to any of the club officers, so get voting please! The
presentation of these awards and medals to the U13 championship winners and
Minor Football league winners will take place on the 26th January in
the GAA Pavilion, time to be confirmed at a later date.
The club would also like to send its sincerest condolences to the
O’Donovan family The Quay on the death of their grandmother Kitty recently. Ar
dheis de go raibh anam.
Finally the club would like to wish all its members at home and
abroad a very Happy New Year.
