Lots of Fun Had in Donoughmore

Last Sunday, July 27th, saw a fantastic turnout in Stuake to celebrate the first Family Fun Day in Donoughmore which was held to replace the carnival which was cancelled the previous Sunday due to the inclement weather. With participation by lots of local clubs in the parish

it was truly a community event. Community Council, Vintage, Tug of War, Macra, Parent and Toddler Group, Ladies Football and GAA clubs were all involved as well as Vincent Casey with sheaf tossing and Deccie Murphy with his fitness challenge. It was such a joy to see everyone

working together to create this special day. As usual the community spirit in Donoughmore was evident with people of all ages attending in their droves and on this occasion we were blessed with beautiful weather.

Huge numbers of girls participated in the Lily Martha Murphy Memorial Blitz and were all presented with medals by Larry and Maureen Murphy. There was great excitement.
