Windgap Tullahought Notes June 9th

It includes the Kilkenny Gospel Choir, Poetry, a Seisúin, Street Stalls, Art Exhibition, Folklore and Photography Exhibitions, Camogie and Hurling Blitz's Treasure Hunt, Old time dance, Open air mass and Floating candles. Also included are a number of surprises that include cat' cow's and novelty games. The events take place at the Grotto, Lake, Amenity area, The Caiseal, Old League House, Tennis Courts, Delaney's, Parochial House, Windgap Community Hall, Slatequarries, GAA Grounds and in many other open spaces and public areas. With former pupils arriving back for a school reunion many visitors have already returned to have a look at the various sites including the Calvary Grotto where a big make over is underway.

SCHOOL: There was disappointment this week for our school teams. The hurling team was beaten in the semi-final by a very strong Tullaroan in Kilmanagh on Monday. On Wednesday the camogie team was knocked out by Bennettsbridge at the quarter final stage. A big thanks was extended to the sides trainers Simon Brophy, Denis O'Callaghan and Jimmy Purcell (hurling) and Deirdre O'Shea (camogie) for their great work during the year. Thanks were also expressed to the parent drivers for their support.
MIGRATION: In the new local election areas Killamery, Tullahought, Kilmoganny and Boolyglass are moving South to the Piltown Electoral area. The new six seater includes the entire Parish of Windgap for the first time as previously the Tullahought area was moved between the Callan and Piltown electoral areas
HURLING: After a short break Windgap hurlers resume with an all County League quarter final against Barrow Rangers in Windgap on Tuesday evening. Having already met in the League Championship the initiative is with the Barrowsiders who ran out winners in Paulstown earlier in the season.
