Congratulations to Ireland and our own Paul Gilleran on a fantastic win in the Masters Competition in Cavan with a score line of 87 to 29.

Notice Paul in the photos handing on the precious GAA torch to his children . Look at his son Conor beside him in the line up and look out for baby Jane  in his arms in the photo with the trophy. Congratulations Paul, Aisling, Conor, Jane and all the Irish team and management.

We are all very proud of the fact that Paul Gilleran (Kilteevan) is a member of the Ireland squad playing Australia in Cavan next Saturday July 20^th.

Paul is a committed member of St Joseph’s Kilteevan. He was a dedicated member of Kilteevan Community Development Group for many years .

Paul continues to lend a willing helping hand to Kilteevan Tidy Towns whenever we call on his expertise.

The Irish Masters (Over 40) squad to face their Australian counterparts in next Saturday's International Rules test in Denn, Co. Cavan. The 32-man squad features two players from each of the 16 counties that compete in Masters football, including London. Managed by Jimmy Galligan (Cavan), Joe Leonard (Tyrone) and Anthony Carroll (Roscommon)

The countries will compete for the Paddy Gaffney Cup in memory of the late Paddy Gaffney. 

A novel twist to this year’s test is that two quarters will be played with the Australian footy, with the Gaelic football used in the other two quarters.

It's getting close to adjudication time and Kilteevan Tidy Towns is working hard to ensure Kilteevan is looking its very best.  We are an open welcoming group so please come along and join us Tuesday evenings at 7.30.pm.  Gather at Kilteevan Community Centre. New members to our community are particularly welcome.

RTE’s Teresa Mannion visited Kilteevan and The Cloonlarge Loop on Wednesday April 24^th 2019,

The purpose of the visit was to highlight the Department of Culture and Heritage’s invitation to Community Groups to apply for funding to help conserve raised bogs.

Kilteevan’s Cloonlarge Loop benefited from funding under a pilot initiative in 2018.

The work of Kilteevan Tidy Towns and inclusion of the walk in the recent Roscommon Co Council publication,  Roscommon Walks Booklet has led to a huge increase in the number of people walking  the route .

 Kilteevan Tidy Towns is delighted to see so many people noticing and enjoying our natural heritage. 

 Awareness of  biodiversity on unique raised  boglands is undoubtedly raised,

Take time to look at the magnificent work of local Roscommon artist Rita Oates in ETL Craft Roscommon,

This particular  greeting card titled Landscape evokes the message we are trying to convey on the Cloonlarge Loop.

The landscape holds us…rest there…see the greens of kindness…the roots of hope…

Well done Rita, keep up the wonderful work.
