Check out all the pictures from Willie Dempsey

Thomastown Camogie Club hosted its fundraising fun run last weekend, drawing a great crowd.

The event saw a 5K, 10K,15K and 1K kids dash on Sunday, March 9. The event - held in honour of Jenny Grace, a much-loved former member of the club - was previously to take place in February but was postponed due to inclement weather.

Starting and finishing at the community centre hall, the routes took in the beautiful countryside of Thomastown and fabulous scenes of Ballylinch Stud, Mount Juliet.

ST PATRICK'S DAY
Meanwhile, separately, Thomstown's annual St Patrick's Day Parade will take place on Monday, March 17 at noon. Thomastown Community Network will also once again run the annual Great Wheelbarrow Parade through the street this St Patrick's Day. This year's theme is 'Wild Rivers' .

Groups, individuals, businesses are welcome to take part; all you need is a wheelbarrow and some imagination! Registration starts in the Quay Carpark at 11.15am on Monday with the parade starting at noon. Gillian Grattan from Tada Theatre Group is MC for the event and there will be a dedicated and artistic team of judges.  Conor Graham and his West African drummers will be performing on Market Street for the duration.
