LADIES FINAL
Good luck to Orla Molloy and the An Tóchar girls in their County Final next Sunday 28th at 4pm in Aughrim. We have a young exciting team and they need all the support they can get as they face a very strong combined team who pick from two very good clubs Donard and Dunlavin. Thanks to Gerry O’Toole who is bringing the girls to Aughrim. If you can’t make the game be sure to come to the complex and welcome them home around 6.30pm. Regardless of the result they’ve done us proud this year with some super performances.

HERITAGE WEEK
To celebrate heritage week, which takes place from the 22nd to 28th August, Roundwood Historical Society have organised a guided tour by Prof Graeme Warren, Head of the UCD School of Archaeology, of the monastic site excavations being carried out this summer in Glendalough, by students from UCD. Prof Warren will personally lead our tour and will share with us the background to the ‘dig’, discoveries so far and how these potentially reset the story and datelines of this fantastic heritage site. The tour, lasting an hour approx, will take place on tonight Wednesday, 24th August at 11am. Our plan is to meet outside the Roundwood Parish Centre no later than 10.15 and make our way by cars to the site at Glendalough. This promises to be a wonderful tour as Prof Warren has been involved with this project since its inception and is very supportive of getting communities involved in discovering their local history, folklore and archaeology heritage. The committee looks forward to as many members as possible attending this event. For more information contact David Menzies Mobile: 087 8363181
