Over 125 vehicles took part in a parade through the town, and out to Boherlahan and back to Cashel Rugby Club, where festive activities were enjoyed.

The Santa Grotto was a huge hit and musicians from Cashel Cohmaltas entertained the large crowd.

The organisers set out to create a community event and were overwhelmed with the huge response from the public, who participated with great enthusiasm.

The event was held to raise funds for the mini section of the club, for Scoil Aonghusa and Scoil Chormac, and the dedication of over 40 volunteers from the rugby club made the day possible.

“This is our first year to hold it, and everybody in the club was blown away by the joy it brought to so many people.
“Everybody in Cashel and throughout Tipperary is well aware of the important work that is carried out every day in Scoil Aonghusa and Scoil Chormac, and the club was delighted to help raise funds to support both schools,” added Ed.
