After a fantastic nights craic in the Canal Court Hotel at the weekend the favourites won out at Bosco Family misFortunes
The Players team Kevin Faloon (Captain), Emma Grey, Niamh Ellen Wallace and Christopher Duggan walked away with the coveted title of most unfortunate team in the St John Bosco stable.
The event organised by Hanna Quinn Productions Inc. (Ireland’s answer to Hanna Barbera the US cartoon makers of the Flinstones and Scooby Doo etc) was a storming success with gut wrenching, tongue twisting, butt squirming, phobia testing challenges that brought the audience to their feet and the contestants to their knees.
Highlights of the evening were Dipsy TeleTumilty’s (Mark) aka Martina from Saval’s attire for the evening, a figure hugging leopard skin pair of trousers that left nothing to the imagination (not that anybody was imagining anything!) Tito (Colm) Jackson would have endured several days/weeks of solitary confinement with the snakes and reptiles before he would utter the escape phrase ‘I’m an Armagh supporter – get me out of here!’ Whilst Kevin Faloon tucked squeamishly into the pig’s privates, Hannibal (Mo) Rooney stated that the fare on offer was a lot better than Lisa’s cooking and even asked for seconds!
This was a rip roaring success and a real catalyst for club and audience enjoyment whilst raising vital funds necessary to finance underage football in our community. Many thanks to all the generous sponsors, audience and organisers for a truly memorable night. Darragh, Paul and their crew from Destination Newry were there on the night streaming the event live worldwide and if you missed it or want to see it again you can see the big show gory details and all on www.destinationnewry.com
All members are reminded to get the ticket money into Liam Quinn or leave with John in the Clubrooms as soon as possible.
U14 & U16 Girls Presentation Night
The highly successful St John Bosco GAC U14 and U16 Girls teams held a joint presentation night in the clubrooms on Sunday 11th November. With 4 trophies from the 2012 season between the two teams you would have thought that there was enough silver ware on display. However guests of honour at the event were two of the girls from the All Ireland winning Armagh girls’ team with the Ulster and All Ireland trophies.
