THEY tackled the concept of time travel with aplomb last Friday as members of Killarney Rugby Club revisited the 1980s and the 1990s.
The dress code included everything from legwarmers to shell suits as players, coaches and friends of the club converged on the Killarney Grand Hotel keen to evoke the decades that turned the spotlight on artists from The Bangles and Madonna to Nirvana. “The fancy dress night was hugely successful,” said Liam Murphy of Killarney Rugby Club.
“It was fantastic to see so many people come along to support the club. Players, parents, coaches and friends of the club came along and some dressed up for the occasion. We had the Blues Brothers, Indiana Jones, Madonna and shell suits, glitter and anklewarmers were the order of the day as nostalgia reigned supreme.”
Liam added: “The 80s music was declared the winner on the night and a fantastic night was had by all. A huge thank you to Helen Sheehan and the staff at the Killarney Grand for their hospitality and huge support.”
