TIPPERARY G.A.A. YEARBOOK NOW ON SALE
It includes the achievements of Rockwell Rovers gaa club. One of the sections of the book that is read with interest and a little sadness is the “Friends we Lost” obituary notices of the many Gaels who passed away during 2023. As usual there are many, fine people, men, and women, who contributed significantly to the G.A.A. during their lifetimes. All this, over one hundred and fifty pages, for €15. It would make an ideal Christmas stocking filler for any Gaa enthusiast.
THANK YOU
The Women’s group and South Tipp Hospice would like to express their gratitude to everyone who supported the recent coffee morning at Barrons pub, New Inn. The event raised an impressive €950. A special thanks goes out to Marie Bergin for her delicious scones and everyone who sponsored raffle prizes and helped during the day. Congratulations to the raffle winners: Bridget O’Neill (Tiffany Lamp) Fergus English (Xmas Hamper) and Ml O’Neill (bottle of whiskey). A great night was had by all at the Christmas party on Friday December 8 at the Annar Hotel, and a big thanks goes to Trish Hogan for the tasty mince pies and Mary Frances for the mulled wine at the pre-Christmas party drinks in Barron’s pub.
