Doohamlet Notes

May 7th, 2014

April 26th was a  night that will be remembered for a long time as 40 dancers took to the stage in the Glencarn Hotel in what can only be described as an amazing performance of talent in Doohamlet Can Dance. Congratulations to everyone of them and to the winners on the night; Best Group Big Tom and the Flatliners which consisted of Thomas GormanSelina Curry & Menni Jalone. Best Male Dancer went to Martin Hughes & Best female Dancer went to Noeleen Mc Bennett. A great performance was also put on by the youngsters of the area in the Micheal Jackson Tribute act and to Kyla Boylan Fletcher who vocals were outstanding and is certain to be a star in the future also to Doohamlet Coral Group who entertained the audience at the interval. To the MC on the night Sean Mc Caffrey for a job well done, to the hard working committee who put in endless hrs of work, to all who sponsored ad,s for the brochure, the main sponsors on the night Doohamlet Construction, Gerry’s Take Away, Eurotech & The Spinning Wheel and to all who sponsored raffle prizes for the night.

Senior League: We got our first point of the seasons campaign with a hard earned draw. It was end to end from t he first minute until the very last minute, a good start with a fine point from Colin Walshe was followed by 2 points form the harps and then in the 18th minute the harps got a goal but Doohamlet answered that with 3 fine points, then on the stroke of half time Barry Mc Bennett fired the ball into the net which left us a point down with half time score 1-7 to 1-8. The second half didn’t get start the way we would have liked it with Marty Hughes going off injured, but with a strong bench we never let it affect us, it was point for point the whole second half and fine points from Darren Connolly and Jamie Walshe helped us get a draw.
