225TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE BATTLE OF BUNCLODY
I am gathering together a group of pikemen/women to commemorate the
225th anniversary of the battle of Bunclody. This will consist of a
march around Bunclody on or about the 1st of June. There will be a need
to have your own pike and appropriate clothes (mostly that will be black
pants, white shirt and waist-coat). We will have 4 or five
nights/evenings training in the lead up to it. I will post more here
later. So get your gear ready and please spread the word.
Send me a WhatsApp message so that I can create a group for easy
contact. 0879081440
This will be a once off event and we'll disband after the event.
Walter Skelton
We will hold our first Pike group meeting on Wednesday 3rd May at
7:30pm in front of the RC Church in Bunclody. You don't need a pike or
uniform at this meeting, but bring them if you have them. Looking
for-ward to seeing you all there."

APPRECIATION EVENING FOR FR JIM BYRNE
Cummann Luthchleas Gael - Tig Leath Slí Bun Clóidí are having an
appreciation evening for Fr Jim Byrne in the Horse & Hound Hotel,
Ballinaboola on Monday 5th of June 2023 (Bank Holiday) at 3pm. Fr Jim
ministered in our parish from 1965 to 1981 and is the man that started
underage football in the club and Rackard League football schools. He
brought great Rackard League success in the 70's which paved the way for
senior success in the 80's. This is a great opportunity for all former
players and parishioners to honour Fr Jim with his family and friends.
There will be a buffet lunch and entertainment with a Bunclody flavour
to it on the day. We are looking for photos of Fr Jim both sporting and
religious related. Please send any material you may have to: Liam Kelly
0872440702 liamoceallaigh1960@gmail.com or Alan Murphy 0863851019
