All Ireland Champions X3 🏆🏆🏆🎉🎉🇮🇪🇮🇪

What a woundeful few days we had in Wexford at Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann with our fabulous dancers 🙌Medals galore coming back to Tipperady in some amazing competitions. We are immensely proud of each and everyone who took to the stage this weekend. A special mention to our u18 teams who placed 1st and 2nd in the same competition, what a magnificent achievement for all involved 🏆🏅

A big thanks must go to Kathy & Rosie who had the teams perfected and polished so amazingly for the All-Ireland stage 🙏Thank you also to our ever supporting dancers and parents for their dedication all summer.

Well done also to Caelainn McGrath for her appearance on Fleadh TV along side the renowned trad band the Rising. The roof was lifted off the TG4 tend 🎶🎶

A wonderful Newcastle woman was looking down on us this weekend and we would like take this opportunity to dedicate our All-Ireland titles & medals to the late Mem Murphy who was laid to rest on Saturday. Mem was our biggest supporter and a true friend to so many, she will always be remembered for her deep love of our Irish culture & heritage and particularly dancing and GAA. A true legend of her lifetime. May her gentle soul rest in peace 🕊️🤍
