Thanks also to Kiltegan and Knockananna for taking part in our tug-of-war with the Billies – hoping next year this will be bigger and better! Well done also to Aughrim, Annacurra, Knockananna, Blessington and the Billies for the highly entertaining games which were played throughout the day – a more skilful display you would find hard to see at adult level !
