Dancing Shoes.
Excitement is really building for the Ballyduff Lower GAA clubs celebratory dinner dance which will take place on Saturday February 22nd at 7.30pm in The Granville Hotel.Tickets are being sought, shoes are being heeled and I thought my eyes were deceiving me the other night as I passed by Tom Cheasty Park and saw many men young and old waltzing around the field with their hurleys as they repeated “123”, “123”. Remember that you do not have to be a member of the club to go to the dinner dance but you do have to know how to enjoy yourself.
Tickets are now on sale from all committee members or by calling 087 2437435 and for just €35 each you will enjoy a delicious 4 course meal, followed by the presentation of medals and then its on with the dancing shoes and dance the night away to the wonderful sounds of the Bottle Brothers. Get your ticket early and avoid disappointment.
