From this week's Bennettsbridge Notes...

Congrats to local dancing sisters, Zahra and Sofia Khodabacksh, who took part in the Leinster Dancing championships last week.

Zahra, who dances with the Kilkenny academy of Irish dancing, was crowned the Leinster under-21 champion.

'Great sadness and loss' in Kilkenny community following the passing of James Kenny

Sofia brought home two Leinster medals.

Great credit is due to their teachers Evelyn, Janine and Sarah.
