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' .
