Pieta House fundraiser: Well done to one of our players, Colin Daly who took part in 'Freezebury' for Pieta House every day over the month of February.
In chilly Irish Sea waters off the coast of Dublin, student teacher Colin spent an extra minute in the sea on each day of this month.
So Colin did one minute on February 1st, two minutes on February 2nd, and so on, until he reached day 29 today and 29 minutes this evening. Brave man Colin but what a great charity initiative!

Jerusalema challenge: Well done to all the staff at our local nursing home, Tearmainn Bhride in Brideswell who brilliantly performed the Jerusalema challenge.

Award: Photographer James Crombie's brilliant photo featuring one of our very own supporters, Eamon O'Rourke came second in the sports non-action category at the Press Photographer of the Year awards on Friday last.
