On Friday last 30th November, the Parent’s Association of St. Theresa’s National School and Borrisoleigh Youth Club held their Annual Halloween Disco in the Marian Hall for the primary school children of the parish.In excess of 120 children attended on the night and it was obvious a lot of effort had been put into their costumes and make up!! The outfits just get better year on year. Well done kids!!

The organising committee would especially like to thank the two great D.J.’s –Kieran Keane and David Butler. They provided excellent music on the night, while the ghouls, ghosts, goblins etc came to life!!! We also wish to thank our sponsors, Donal Hurley, Seán and Marie Shanahan and Tipperary Mineral Water. Finally thanks to everyone who made the night so enjoyable for all the children.

 Christy running away with himself!


Christy Slattery takes advantage of a water stop to edge ahead of his friend Michael Lynch in the Dublin City Marathon over the Bank Holiday Weekend recently

Christy Slattery of Latteragh, successfully completed his first Dublin City Marathon in the company of his cousin Michael Lynch of South Africa, (Michael’s mother is Nora Lynch (nee Ryan) from Mount Kinane). Christy found Michael’s 30+ marathon experiences invaluable in getting him to the finishing line well before his four and a half hour target. Their finishing time was 4:14:16. Out of almost 13 000 runners Christy finished in 5325th place and Michael finished slightly behind in 5329th (whether by accident or design we will never know). Christy was running for the Street Children of Bucharest, a fully Irish-funded Romanian orphanage which he regularly visits to do voluntary work. Thanks to all who supported him in this endeavour. 

 

Christy with Michael before the marathon and then, with medals proudly displayed, after the marathon. Well done boys!
