Dunsany's Gaelic football clubs to celebrate anniversaries at weekend
Invitation to all past and present members, sponsors, and supporters
This year marks the 60th anniversary of the founding of Dunsany GFC, and it is just over 30 years since the local Ladies Gaelic Football Club was founded in 1992.
The two clubs have decided to combine anniversary celebrations to mark their places in the community, and there will be a get together on Saturday evening next, 11th November, in the clubhouse, to mark these milestones.
