A great crowd turned out at Paddy Finn’s on August 12^th for the Race Night in Aid of the development of Kilteevan community park. An amazing total of €8000 was raised in the run up to the event and on the night. There was lots of merriment to had too with many having a chuckle as some of the chosen horse names such as “Usain Colt”, “Red Hot Filly Pepper” and “I Miss The Pub”! All the owners of the winning horses from the night were entered into a draw where four names were pulled out, each one winning a prize. There results were as follows:

1^st Prize: €200- Seamus Regan

2^nd Prize: €150- PJ Lynch

3^rd Prize: €100- Bernie Crawley

4^th Prize: €50- Conor Coen

The final race of the night was the auction race and there was more a hot contest for horse number 7. First past the post in the auction race was “The Blow In” owned by Anne Marie Bance and ridden by Conor Dolan!

The committee would like to thank all the race sponsors and to all those who bought a horse. We’d also like to thank Paddy Finns who were very generous sponsors of the race card and were as always great hosts.

The 25th anniversary of Mass in Kilteevan Graveyard will be celebrated in the graveyard on Saturday 20 August at 7:00 p.m. weather permitting. Otherwise Mass will be celebrated in the Church. The annual maintenance collection will also be held. Your contributions are vital for the continued maintenance of the graveyard. Sincere thanks to everyone for their support. After Mass, to mark this special occasion and celebrate Heritage Week, everyone is invited to the Community Centre for refreshments which will be followed by an illustrated talk ‘Did you know?.... 100 interesting facts about Kilteevan graveyard’.

All Roads lead to the Village this Saturday as we host our "Kilteevan Factor Fesitval"!

This year we are introducing a festival where we will put the whole community through their paces in a series of challenges but there is a twist...

…You will be playing for your townland!

Based on the much loved Kyrpton Factor we have created a series of tasks that will test your skill, strength, agility and brainpower over a two day period. We have created some thing to suit all ages and abilities so there’s no excuse not to come down to the village!

All the excitement culminates on Saturday evening with a Fun Run/Walk followed by a street party and Barbeque at the Community Centre. We want to invoke a Street Party feel where we can catch up with our neighbours (hopefully in the Sunshine!)
