The Blow in Wine Club has run out of wine, the Bogey Men wish they'd never left the 19th and the WAGS are laughing all the way to the winners podium....
Our club fundraiser, the Family Fortunes Experience - Newtown style was a resounding success. We are very proud to have great supporters around us, who came out on Saturday night to join in the fun. Our teams fully embraced the blank canvas they were given, and some pushed the boat out more than others. Special Forces may not have embraced the dress code, but three of them polished their heads and stuck it out to the Final! Armagh-geddon and the Average Hoes brought the dance moves, and Licensed to Kill looked like they'd escaped from Alcatraz never mind a hospital! Dromintown found out who the true Legends were, but Special Forces proved too strong for the muscle men from RFPT and the Newtown Legends. Our Mothertruckers earned that much needed holiday they were dressed for, as the WAGs got their claws out in the semi-final! Plenty of one liners, questionable answers and birthday celebrations for our club President, Aidan Carragher Snr and club secretary, Lauren Gibney, topped off a super event.
We couldn't have pulled the night together without the help from the following:
