Well done to all the Sliabh gCua Set Dancing Club dancers who represented the club recently in Fleadh Cheoil na nDéise, in Ballyduff Upper. Our under 12 groups came home with two first places and two third places (both recommended). Our 12-15 groups had two second places and our 15-18 groups had two first places and one third place (recommended). Our Over 18 4-Hand Ladies recorded a second place finish. A huge thank you to Joseph Mannion and the Ballyduff musicians for playing for us. The next round Fleadh Cheoil na Mumhan will take place in MTU Cork in July. More information to follow at a later date.
