The second Three Castle Ball took place last Saturday (26 February) proving to be a great success for a second year.

Over 150 guests attended what was made up of players from all squads, coaches and their respective plus-ones who joined along for the evening. This year saw a doubling of the attendance of the first Three Castles Ball which took place in the weeks before the government restrictions.

On the night, guests were welcomed to a prosecco reception and shortly after moved in for a sit-down dinner in the Zurich Room.

Club Captain Jack O’Sullivan welcomed all guests for the evening and lead the speeches for the night.

A raffle raising funds for the 2022 Club Tour was ran during the dinner with a number of sponsors including the Merry Cobbler, Mulligans of Sandymount, Churchtown Stores and Dingle Gin providing raffle prizes on the night.

Fuel also sponsored the event – providing a range of props and lighting which transformed the Zurich Room on the night.

The Homesick Gypsies (band) opened with music for the night shortly after the dinner with a DJ that followed up once the crowd was warm!

The party continued with bus runs bringing guests to House on Leeson St. Until the early hours of the morning.

A special thanks to Elayne, Michael, the Bar Staff for helping to ensure everything ran smoothly and to Michael O’Brien for professional photography.
