Kilcummin Gaelic Mothers & Others hosted a hugely successful Halloween-themed table quiz last Friday night at the Kilcummin Klub Bar and GAA Hall, raising over €1,800 for charity.

The event saw an excellent turnout of more than 130 people, with funds set to be split between Temple Street Children’s Hospital and the local Kilcummin Mothers & Others ladies football team.
Many attendees embraced the Halloween spirit by arriving in "Spooktacular" costumes, adding to the fun of the evening. Organisers noted that the "Big Raffle," supported by generous local businesses and individuals who contributed prizes, played a significant part in the successful financial outcome.
Quiz Master Derek O’Leary put participants through their paces with a variety of challenging questions. Team member Catriona Doolan, one of the organisers, described the evening as "undoubtedly a great social evening for all in attendance," confirming that a family fun night was had by all.
Organisers extended their gratitude to Kilcummin GAA, as well as John O’Sullivan and staff for facilitating the event and providing a wonderful array of finger food at half-time. Thanks were also given to Nessa and Declan for supplying the sound system.
The Kilcummin Mothers & Others group is always open to new members. Those wishing to join the vibrant and fun-active group can contact Ann Marie on 087 9047274.
