Lip Sync

Now we are all aware of the talents of our fantastic footballers however we can now reveal they extend far beyond the GAA playing fields as George Hannigan and Willie Connors, along with Tipperary senior hurlers Barry Heffernan, Donagh Maher and other local GAA stars are coming together to perform, what promises to be a thrilling night’s entertainment, in the Abbey Court Hotel Nenagh of lip sync battling!

The show will take place on Friday, February 16th at 8pm and all proceeds go towards the construction of a new school yard in Nenagh CBS Primary School. This school has been to the fore front when it comes to promoting Gaelic Games and they are currently the county under-12 A football champions.
