Bree Macra make All Ireland Drama Finals

Well done to the Bree Macra team of Niall Doyle, Michelle Hogan, Stephen Donohoe, Sarah Doyle and Damien O'Neill who qualified for and performed in the All Ireland Amateur Drama Competition, held last week. It was the club's first entry to the competition in 14 years and they were delighted with their performance on the night of "What's for Pudding?" Unfortunately the team was not placed, but they, and their producer Pat O'Callaghan, and supporters had a great weekend and promise it won't be as long again until their next production!
