After several false starts due to weather warnings, Kilcummin Ladies Gaelic Football Club finally enjoyed a successful Pink Ladies Night at The Klub Bar.

The parish turned pink in support of Comfort for Chemo, with the event raising funds for the third consecutive year.
"A huge thank you to the local media for their flexibility in rescheduling the event," said committee member Geraldine Pigott. "The vibrant sea of pink and favorable weather conditions created a fantastic atmosphere as everyone danced the night away."
Pigott praised the generosity of John O'Sullivan, proprietor of The Klub Bar, and the businesses that donated spot prizes. The band Next Generation kept the energy high throughout the evening.
"We're thrilled with the turnout and can't wait to see how much we raised for Comfort for Chemo," she added.
Julie Egan and Eoin Moriarty, both from Dunrine, were crowned Best Dressed Lady and Best Dressed Man, respectively.
