It was a lovely social occasion recently as Scott’s Hotel was the place to be for the Dr Crokes GAA Club awards night.

A large gathering of 140 attended the annual night on Friday (February 21), where they enjoyed finger food and entertainment from Scórparticipants.

“It was a very enjoyable evening,” one of the organisers, Vince Casey, told the Killarney Advertiser.
