Coiste Cultúrtha na Mí acknowledges the help given by clubs at the Bailiúchán Náisiúnta on St Patrick’s Day, sincere thanks to all involved. Our next event is Tráth na gCeist Bord in Navan O’Mahony’s clubhouse on Saturday March 25th, starting at 8.30pm, €20 for teams of 4.
The Paddy Meegan perpetual cup will be presented to the winning team who will then go forward to represent Meath at the National competition. CLG Bhulf Tones were the inaugural winners in 2016…but who will take the cup in 2017???
We would appreciate your support of this event by sending a team on Saturday night.
