Croom Teacher Receives Man Of The Match for Ireland

Croom Teacher Receives Man Of The Match for Ireland .

 Ireland defeated Scotland in the AIB Club International in a very entertaining match played at Donnybrook last Friday Night ,John Ed O Connor who is teaching in Colaiste Chiarain was voted Man of the Match and he had  a tremendous game, Quote of the night as regards John Ed’s play was “He is one hell of a tough Nut “ in a complimentary fashion from a commentator..Let’s hope it will be the first of many more caps to come for John Ed. Ireland were not fancied to do well against a Scotland team  who have already two games played and one was a trouncing of Wales, they also had fringe/Academy players playing who were verging on the Scotland Senior Squad .Ireland draw from players in the Aib League.

The Curtains will be raised at Manister community centre on this Friday evening when the drama group will present their three night’s show (“Don’t tell the wife”) .The cast have been busy rehearsing their lines for this great production so hopefully that the husbands and the wives of the district will not keep this great drama showing a secret in the staging of the three nights of fun and laughter.
