Lip Sync Fundraiser Event
Last Sunday was certainly a night that ourselves and the Rugby Club will never forget at the Radisson Blu Hotel, Little Island. This event was well supported and the huge crowd got
behind all the acts on the night with MC Fanta setting the tone with a “Mc Gregor” type
entrance! The eventual winners on the night were the Rugby Clubs “Victorious Secrets”
performing Lady Marmalade, but in reality all the acts were winners.
Representing the Gaa Club was Pa Beausang & Paddy Corcoran as the “Weather Girls”, Leonard Saunderson & Rebecca O’Brien as the Blues Brothers, Shane Goulding, Ciara
Lomasney, Shauna Desmond & Luke O’Keeffe as Abba, John O’Connell sang “I got a feeling”, Cristeoir Ó Cashasaigh acted as Elsa from Frozen and Ricky Roche as Kelly Clarkson.      
Many thanks to the joint club committee, all the Acts, our sponsors &  supporters, Kevin Rowe Events, MC Fanta, the judges Orlagh Farmer, Diarmaid O’ Sullivan and Aidan Mc Carthy and everyone else who helped in the lead up to the event and on the night.
