• Table Quiz
  We had our table quiz on Friday night in Mc Keons Keshcarrigan and a good night of fun and games was had by all. While the teams were all very close on the night and being in the presence of so much intellegence, at times was overwhealming (especially when there was free pints involved) the overall winners on the night were Liam O Brien and Carmel Murphy with help from Mary Mc Keon and in the Novice Round the winners were Marian Mc Keon, Marie Keane and Fionnuala Smith. We would like to thank Kieran and Mary Mc Keon for their premises and lovely food on the night, to all who gave us photos to use in our picture round to Paul Mc Carty for his amplification, to Deirdre Ferry and to all who gave spot prizes, The Landmark Hotel, Kevin Meehan Taxis, O'Neills Sport and Kieran and Mary Mc Keon. Thanks to all who came to support us on the night. There are so many people in the parish that support everything we do and it is very much appreciated. Last but certainly not least we would like to thank our quizmaster on the night, Liam Ferry without him we could not have run the quiz. Thank you for all the time and effort that was put into making the night fun for all involved.
