La nNa gClub
There was a great hive of activity going on all weekend around the club in celebration of the 125 anniversary of the GAA. The Folk Mass officially opened the programme on Friday night which was followed by the Silverbridge Rose. The Cic Fhada and Recreational football was a great success on Saturday and it was great to see a lot of the retired players coming back and joining forces with the ladies to make it a very entertaining game. The main event took place on Sunday when the Artane Boys Band headed the parade from Daly Park to the football field. The fine weather added to the atmosphere and gave everyone an opportunity to take part. The hundreds who turned up for the parade was a true reflection of how important Silverbridge GAC is in the community and how it extends its hospitality to everyone in the area.
The exhibition of past times in Silverbridge proved to be a great success so much so that it will be open every night next week from 7 - 10pm to give everyone an opportunity to view it. A special word of thanks must go to all those who helped to put together the events for the weekend and for everyone who helped out throughout the weekend to make it such a success, especially the residents of Daly Park and Moylinn Close who put a lot of work in last week to decorate and tidy the parks. It would be impossible to mention everyone individually but a great big THANKS to everyone.

Louise now goes to Armagh City Hotel with her escort Christopher Rowland to take part in the Armagh heat of the Rose of Tralee on Friday 15 May. If you are free on that night please go along and support our local Rose. We would like to thank all those who made the night such a great success especially Miceal Moley who did a wonderful job of MC for the night, he really made the contestants feel at ease. Thanks also to the judges who travelled from Belfast, Dundalk and Mullaghbawn who had the difficult task of trying to choose one of the seven wonderful girls who took part, it was no easy job. Thanks to John Francis Murphy and Bernard Reel who provided the vintage cars for the evening, to Mickey O Hare who so kindly recorded it for DVA, Rory Donnelly who provide the champagne, to members of the Armagh Rose Committee who gave their support on the night and to all those who helped in any way.
The night would not have happened without our Roses and their escorts who put so much effort into the night, we wish to thank them most sincerely for making it such a great night.
Our Roses were: Louise Meegan, Louise Murphy, Ladine Rowland, Siobhan Moley, Seana Martin, Geraldine Hearty and Roisin Murphy. The escorts were: Christopher Rowland, Ruari Griffin, Brendan Byrne, Ciaran Conlon, Seamus Hearty, Paudie Burns and Niall Quinn.
