BURREN RANGERS FEILE PEILE na nOG REPORT

Feile Peile na nOg 2015 has come to an end but what a weekend we had in Burren Rangers. The atmosphere, volume of people around the club, great football games and even the weather all combined to create an extremely successful weekend. The feedback from all quarters is positive and Burren Rangers can be very proud of its contribution to this popular All Ireland competition. The success is mainly due to the all hands on deck attitude of many clubs members leading up to and over the weekend. It became obvious that pride in the club and its reputation were all paramount importance to many club members.

Burren Rangers hosted a boy’s team from North London and a girl’s team from Cooley Kickhams, Louth and wonderful friendships were made with our own local boys and girls Under 14 teams.

The club would sincerely like to thank the twenty one host families who took boys and girls into their homes and gave them such a wonderful welcome.  Thanks is also extended to all those who contributed food items to the kitchen over the weekend. It was unbelievable to see the amount of donated food that came through the door and whether it was sandwiches, home baking or biscuits it was very much appreciated. Visitors to the club felt very well looked after with refreshments available all day Friday and Saturday.

Sincere thanks to the Burren Rangers Feile Committee of Padraig Holden, Alister Castle, Jennifer Brazil, Matt English Hayden Hayden, Linda Kenny, Martin Doyle, Aisling McGagh, Noeleen English, Terry and Gayle Kane, Keith Bolger, Michael McGagh and all parents who rolled up their sleeves and decorated Ballon GFC, made tea, sandwiches, washed dishes, swept floors, put to the tent, attended to the car park, acted as umpires, scoreboard operators, programme sellers, shop attendees, those who took photographs and videos or supervised the disco all ensuring  that visitors were looked after in a safe, courteous and helpful manner.

Special thanks to Billy Fanning and John Kelly, Ballon GFC who assisted the club in every way possible in having Ballon GFC in prime condition for the weekend and to Joe Donohoe and Ger Proctor for marking the pitch.

Our Feile Mass was another important aspect of the weekend and we wish to thank Fr Whelan, Fr Howard and Kathleen Condron for their help in organising the mass and to those who agreed to do readings and prayers. Our celebration on Saturday evening took place at Ballon Community Centre with the committee kindly agreeing to move the bingo to Ballon National School for Feile weekend to ensure the fantastic facility could be show cased to our visitors. We wish to thank all members of the Ballon Community Centre Committee for their co operation and support and thank Helen Castle and Gerry Maher for setting up the hall on Saturday while members attended matches in Ferns and Blessington.
