Rosebuds Ladies Group
The Rosebuds Ladies Group is a friendly and welcoming community for women aged 18 and over who enjoy making new friends, learning new skills and taking part in a wide variety of social and cultural activities. We meet every Tuesday from 10.30am until 12.30pm in Clongeen Hall, where members enjoy informative talks, health and well-being sessions, crafts, games, outings and plenty of laughter.
Recent activities have included a fascinating tour of Horetown House and its beautiful grounds, an enjoyable game of Pongo, a fun day of Crazy Golf at The Abbey Par 3 and a six-week pottery course currently being attended by some of our members. Our talented crafters have also been busy making cushion covers and wind extractor covers.
Looking ahead, we are planning a visit to Craanford Mills, a Christmas shopping trip to Gorey and many more exciting activities in the run-up to Christmas. The entry cost is just €5 per session and new members are always welcome to join our warm, supportive and vibrant group.

Cloughbawn GAA Club
The Intermediate Football team had an historic win on Saturday last, when they beat Horeswood to win the Intermediate title and will now compete at senior level in 2027. The team had a fantastic match, a brilliant team effort, full of determination, heart and club pride. Well done to all the players and management, and to the supporters who cheered them on every step of the way.
Congratulations also to Sarah Greene, who had the honour of singing the National Anthem before the game.
The team now turns their attention to next Saturday, when they take on neighbouring team Courtnacuddy Davidstown in the Intermediate hurling county final, so again we ask all our supporters to get behind the team and make your way to Wexford Park on Saturday 24th October at 3.15pm.
