What a truly memorable week-end (sat 30th Aug.) we had thanks to the G.A.A. The joy that An- thony Maher & the Kerry team brought to all of us in their nail-biting victory over Mayo has replaced many memorable highlight s from the G.A.a. pitch in the past. Thanks to the wonderful team who train and work so hard to give us such great entertainment and thanks to all the families and G.A.A. clubs, schools and commu- nities that have encouraged the likes of Anthony Maher to make us so proud of our local place. As we congratulate Anthony we congratulate his fam- ily, friends and team mats who do such great inspiring work for us all. And then on Sunday (Aug 31st) the hills of Donegal si- lenced hill 16. Roll on September 21st when the mountains of Kerry meet the Hills of Donegal.
