Smiley O’Reilly—Presentation Evening:
On Tuesday evening last, 3rd May there was a memorial Mass in Tierworker for Sean Smiley O’Reilly followed by light refreshments in the Hall where there was a presentation to both the Bailieborough and Kingscourt Cancer Funds of proceeds raised from the Smiley O’Reilly Memorial Tractor run which was held on Sunday, April 3rd.
Both charities received a cheque for €4070 from the O’Reilly family.
The organisers of the Smiley O’Reilly Memorial Run and parents of Sean would like to thank everyone who attended the Tractor Run on 3rd April. An incredible 327 vehicles took part on the Run. They would also like to thank everyone who helped out in any way, all the marshals, the women who baked, donated and served the food, anyone who donated a spot prize, The Royal Breffni for the use of their field, Tierworker Community for the use of their Hall and the Order of Malta for attending on the day as well.
They hope everyone had had an enjoyable day and hope to see you all again next year.

Congratulations to the senior players on beating Rathkenny from division 2 in the semi-final of the Fitzsimons cup on Friday last. The team won 1—0 after extra time with Ben Hannigan getting the all-important goal from the penalty spot. A great team performance and made all the better by the record of not being beaten at home since the first game of the league last August. Best of luck lads in the final.
