Juvenile Notes:
‘Stars in their Eyes’:
There was a packed house in ‘Brian Boru on the Hill’ on Saturday night for ‘Stars in their Eyes’. It was a fantastic night’s entertainment and well done to the winner, Orla Carey - aka Dolores O Riordan, runner up Mike Grace – aka Garth Brooks, and all the talented singers that represented the juvenile and camogie clubs.
A huge thank you Noel McInerney for being a fantastic MC and to Mark Power for the very impressive stage backdrop that he created for the night

There is no online booking facility for this camp but bookings can be made through Ronnie Power, Juvenile Secretary.
