It was great to see a night organised for the Tipperary girls and so many Camogie players being presented their medals. Well done girls, Big stars of the future!

Canaries.

Lorrha Variety Group will be presenting its latest production, “Canaries”, a good, light comedy written by Bernard Farrell, in Lorrha Community Hall at the end of this month.  Directed by Diane Dagg, it has a cast of twelve people and is a comedy about Tommy, Marie and Marie’s father, who go on holiday to the Canary Islands and meet up with Jane, Richard and their gang. As the action unfolds, it emerges that many of the characters are not all they seem to be, with hilarious consequences. Tommy and Marie end up having a holiday that they will never forget – but not necessarily for the right reasons.

The play will run for three nights only on Friday 29th, Saturday 30th November & Sunday 1st December.
