SPLIT THE POT RAFFLE
The “Split the Pot” raffle is a fantastic way to support our local Irish dancers who are preparing to compete at the World Championships in March. This global stage presents a great opportunity for our dancers to showcase their talent and hard work. We are extremely grateful for your support.
Our first draw took place last Sunday, February 4, at Ollie’s Bar. We would like to congratulate Trish Maguire from Cahir on winning the “split pot” of €250.
Our next “Split the Pot Raffle” will be held next Sunday. Don’t miss out on the chance to win. Remember, the more lines you buy, the larger the pot and the larger the prize! Lines for next week’s pot are currently on sale at Michael’s shop, Ollies, and Barron’s, New Inn for 2 euros a line. You can also contact Aisling Boland at 087 9520471 or Brenda Lonergan at 087 6039677 to make a purchase.

ARM WRESTLING
The Pinkerton’s Irish Open Arm Wrestling Championship, held recently in Armagh, has officially been declared the largest arm wrestling event in Ireland, attracting over 90 entries from around the globe. The event featured professional and novice competitions across various weight categories. Five English brothers from Knockgraffon participated in the professional competitions.
Cormac, the eldest, competed in the 105 kg category for both left and right arm, securing fifth place in both. Fergus and Diarmuid took part in the 95 kg category, which proved to be a challenging group as they faced off against former world champions. Finbarr, competing in the 86 kg category, came in fifth for the right arm. Cillian, the second eldest, competed in the 75 kg category and emerged as the new Irish open champion. He won the right arm competition and came second in the left arm competition. This is a remarkable achievement, and we are immensely proud of him and all the boys.
For more details about the event, including results and photos, you can visit the Northern Ireland Arm Wrestling Facebook page. The boys took up arm wrestling during the COVID-19 lockdown, and the sport continues to gain popularity in Ireland.
