* Castlewellan Does Strictly Come Dancing is all hottingup. The veteran of many a good night in the Club Rory Mac (believe me there isonly one and he’s never below par!) and his dance partner Michelle Dorans werepracticing hard in the bar. Michelle and Rory rather naively told me how theywere going to blow everyone away with their two dances! I rather cunninglyneglected to inform them it was going into print. Meanwhile Jason (cue littleJason!) and McVeigh were at a spare end both awaiting their dance partners toarrive for practice. Oh the bug has caught as both of them started into a VienneseWaltz together! Neither of them were exactly Anton Du Bec. The dates for thisyear’s competition are 16th& 23rd November and the final on 7th December 2013.

* Now the Darts Leagueis back in full flow the club lads have found themselves back in action. Earlyrumours about Chris Overend and Paddy Doc potentially transferring to Mooney’sand Annsborough respectively were put to bed (the respective bars didn’t wantthem!) & new man Alan McDonald signed up the first fixture of the seasonseen the lads win 4-2 over the bridge bar. The following week seen a convincing5-1 victory over ‘Annsborough B’ now leaving the lads joint top of division 2!Hopefully the lads can keep the run going and maybe Paddy might spend some ofhis recent money he won on the draw on new darts.
