It is 50 years since the '74 team had their famous victory and 40 years since the '84 team won their medals

Drom and Inch GAA and Camogie clubs Dinner Dance will be held on Saturday March 2nd in Revel at the Ragg. On the night the club will celebrate the fantastic victories our u21 hurling team had this year as well as the Junior Bs (currently preparing for an All-Ireland final in Kileedy, Limerick) and the Tom Cusack football team that earned medals last season. The camogie team too will be part of the celebrations following their county final victory in the senior championship.

Medals will be presented to all the above on the night and the club will also be commemorating the 50th and 40th year anniversaries of the 1974 and 1984 Mid Senior Hurling final winners. placeholder image
