Letterkenny Gaels Club Notes.
Míle buíochas to all the Gaels who competed in Scór on Friday night past. Congratulations to the quiz team who won and will go on to the county final in two weeks time. The standard of all the competitions was very high and unfortunately we have not progressed to county level in the other competitions. Very positive feedback from the judges and plenty to build on for next year!! Go raibh maith agaibh as an obair crua go leir.
