by SHARON O’SULLIVAN
Our club returned to
bowls action on the 1st Tuesday of September and we had a great turn- out of 22 bowlers on the night. It was great to see such a large number on the mat.
It was good to
see all our members in such good form and our Captain
Peter O’Reilly
welcomed everyone back and wished them all a hap- py season of bowling and
hoped everyone would en- joy themselves and he was very anxious that
all our
members would enjoy the social side of bowls as well as the competitive side of our club.
Peter also wel-
comed a new member on the night Pat Lyons and hoped he would enjoy the season. The big number of members continued each Tuesday and Thurs- day during September. We had 5 teams in Con-
na’s tournament last week and everyone did the club
proud. Our 2 League
teams begin the season with home games against Cox’s Hall on Thursday 28th

is an understatement with the numbers that came out today to support our fund- raising cycling event in aid of

that cancer touches every family at some stage or another and it was very ev- ident with the support we
received. From local businesses
and volunteers from all walks offered, donated and gave up their time to help out today, whether mar- shaling, preparing/sup- plying food and helping out to feed what we think was in the region of 250 cyclists from Carrick-On Suir to Carrigdhoun and
