Kilkenny community to honour hurling heritage with monument
The Johnstown Heritage Group will shortly be erecting a stone monument honouring all hurlers and camogie players who brought such credit to the Johnstown/Crosspatrick area since hurling was first mentioned as being played at Ballyspellan Spa in 1742.
The group are aware that many people would like to make a contribution to the project and they would greatly welcome any support, including from people living away from the parish.
A letter and envelope will be delivered to all houses in the near future and committee members will collect the envelopes. All support would be greatly welcomed.
A model of the monument can be viewed in Molly Burke’s window (Tynan’s).
