Blackhill Annual Sports Day:
Blackhill Annual Sports day took place on Bank Holiday Monday June 5th in glorious sunshine. Our U-7’s and teams from Oram, Doohamlet and Toome were the stars of the show this year and served up some great football. Thank you sincerely to everyone who supported this traditional community event and to the club volunteers who organised and ran the event. Thanks also go to Brendan McMahon who sponsored the burger buns, and to Gerry Quinn and Donal Comiskey who part sponsored the burgers and the milk for the day.
