WEDDING
The marriage of Catherina Tiernan, Carney Commons and Ciaran Donnelly, Dublin, took place in Kilbarron Church on Saturday 11th August. Catherina is the daughter of Jim and Kathy Tiernan and Ciaran is the son of Susan and the late Paddy Donnelly. The marriage ceremony was performed by Fr. Michael Cooney P.P. and the musical accompaniment was by Dan Twomey. Catherina’s chief bridesmaid was Lorraine Flannery and her two friends Brid O’Meara and Edel O’Mears were her bridesmaids. Ciaran’s best-man was his brother Seamus Donnelly and his grooms-men were Aidan Keogh and Ciaran MacEochaidh. Catherina’s page boy was Liam Donnelly and her flower girl Kim Sherlock, nephew and niece of Ciaran. After their marriage Catherina and Ciaran were joined by their many guests at Coolbawn Quay for their wedding reception and the honeymoon is being spent in Portugal.

SHANNON RANGERS FC
Shannon Rangers made its exit from the 3rd Division Shield semi-final last Saturday evening in Cloughjordan against Cloughjordan (b). Rangers battled hard in the 90 minutes and were unlucky not to go ahead in the first half but had to soak up a lot of pressure in the second. Yet again the game went to penalties where Rangers lost 4-1 in the shoot -out. But all is not lost as we still have the league and two more Cups to look forward to. Training times will be sent by text and all players to attend.
As you may be aware the club has decided to enter u/13 and u/16 schoolboy teams, these two teams could not be started without the generous sponsorship from Ray Burke/Midge O’Meara of the u/13’s and Riverdale Nursing Home of the u/16’s. The club would like to say massive thanks for their sponsorship and to ‘Elsie’s’ for its continued sponsorship of the senior team.
Any children interested in playing u/16 please contact the u/16 coach Keith Kelly at 086 1997675 and for u/13’s please contact coach, Ray Burke at 087 7423990. Training for both every Saturday morning at 11am in Ballinderry.
TERRYGLASS ARTS FESTIVAL
The 14th Terryglass Arts Festival has been a resounding success with an enormous attendance. It really was ‘the place to be’ last weekend. A large crowd attended the opening ceremony last Wednesday and thoroughly enjoyed the magnificent music, even comedian Tommy Tiernan was among the attendees. A great night of laughter was had with Snatch Comedy Improv.
There was a full house on Friday night in Terryglass Church for the performance by Jack L. It was an amazing experience with outstanding lighting effects and acoustics.
The Saturday night events at the Quay were superb. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the colourful display of fireworks and musical entertainment.
