Sean O’Mahony’s host awards night in Ballymascanlon House Hotel

The Sean O’Mahony’s held their their annual awards night in Ballymascanlon House Hotel on Saturday with plenty to celebrate after their Louth and Leinster Intermediate Championship successes last year.

On the night those in attendance were entertained by Inniskeen’s Oliver Callan while a number of awards were handed out.

Shane Brennan was named Players’ Player of the Year while Ronan Byrne picked up the management’s Player of the Year prize.

Junior Player of the Year went to Gavin Gray while former County Board chairman Paddy McMahon was honoured with a place in the club’s Hall of Fame.

There was also a special award on the night for Pat O’Brien for 35 years of service to the club.

Callan releases Dundalk Abbey

Local comedian Oliver Callan enjoyed one of his biggest hits of last year with a skit about Dundalk.

He followed that up over New Year with a skit called ‘Dundalk Abbey’ on his RTÉ show ‘Callan Kicks The Year’.

While the Inniskeen man’s sketch is undoubtedly funny, it seems to me that it more accurately reflects a Killanny/Carrickmacross/Ardee accent than that of the town.
