Thanks to
Celebrity Bainisteoir Katherine Lynch, Mickey Quinn and the players and management of


St. Patrick's GAA Club, Dromahair 

for all the fun, good humour and excitement provided by participation in the 

Celebrity Bainisteoir Competition 

over the last few months. Commitment on the field of play was excellent. On TV everyone 
was articulate and happy and reflected this community in a most positive light. 
The Final on Friday evening in Parnell Park was a wonderful occasion but it's a pity good 
luck deserted us just a little at the very end. 
Again heartiest congratulations to all involved and thanks for sharing a wonderful and 
memorable journey with all the community. 

In the end its not the years in your life that count, it's the life in your years!
