Offaly Cross Country Athletics
Well done to the children who took part in the Offaly Cross Country Athletics in Tullamore Harriers on Tuesday October 1st. They all trained very hard over the past few weeks and should be proud of their achievement.
Tidy Towns
Well done to everyone involved in Geashill Tidy Towns for their great success at the annual awards. Geashill were Gold Medal Winners, County Offaly Winners, National Pollinator Award Winners, 2nd in the National Village Category and only two points behind overall winners Glaslough. A thoroughly deserved result for all the hard work and dedication.
