It was a beautiful day for the Blues as Thomastown United capped a dream day by beating Shamrock Rovers in the Leinster Senior Cup on Saturday.

United welcomed their visitors, who were dubbed the 'Manchester United of Ireland' to United Park for their fourth round Cup clash. More than 1,200 people flocked to the ground for the game, which was settled thanks to Stephen Connolly's injury-time goal.

The game was a huge success for United, who turned the day into a community celebration. Our photographer, Michael Brophy, was there to capture all the excitement. You can order copies of Michael's photographs here

Over 100 lots of fine art, jewellery, craft, collectibles and VIP tickets went under the hammer at a special auction at Lyrath Estate Hotel prior to Christmas.


The Butler Gallery Christmas Benefit Auction was held in partnership with Fonsie Mealy Auctioneers. It was a great opportunity to buy a great piece of art, at a very reasonable price, as a fundraiser with a portion of the sale price going to the artists who were very generous with their estimates.


Butler Gallery director Anna O' Sullivan thanked all those who attended, and the artists who contributed work.


"We thank them all for their involvement with this auction along with Fonsie Mealy Auctioneers and Lyrath Hotel. This event couldn’t happen without them," she said.
