Christmas Hampers

Last Sunday at the Christmas Hamper presentation Captain Paddy O’Brien thanked all who played over the season. He reserved special praise for the sponsors and for Joan Grimes and Francie Horan who organised the presentations. He also thanked the House Committee for organising Santa Claus which was a resounding success this year. Despite power failure over 150 children spent an exciting evening in the Club.
