Birthday.

Happy Birthday to Ann Larkin, Bellair who celebrated a significant birthday with family and friends in Gussies on Saturday and to Damian Cornally, Grogan who celebrated his birthday with family and friends in Flynn's of Grogan also on Saturday night.

Sympathy.

Sincere sympathy to the family of the late Seamus Egan, Dernagun who passed away last week.

Gaelic Sunday.

The 100th Anniversary of Gaelic Sunday will be celebrated on Sunday next 5th August in Ballycumber GAA pitch at 6pm with a football match between players from the various townslands. There is no known record of matches having been played in this Parish but, we are sure that the Gaels of Leamonaghan Parish were staunch members of the GAA and would have responded to the call from Headquarters to arrange matches to defy the ban on public gatherings without a licence.

The match on Sunday will feature players from Bellair, Moorock and Boher and adjacent townslands who will line out under the name Ballyard and the opposition will be provided by the Back Road Warriors including players from Lemonaghan, Dernagun, Grogan and adjacent townslands.

All players young and old are invited to take part and hand passing which was not around in1918 will not be allowed.

Following the match a Bar B Q and Table Quiz and music will be held in Flynn's of Grogan.

All support is very much appreciated.
