Dermot Beattie was superb in his role as Master of Ceremonies for the games and the raffle, and James Clark was wonderful with his music that got people up on the dance floor.

Their generosity with gifts gave plenty of spot prizes for the raffle.

Who could forget Brian Quigley and his orange challenge! Congratulations to the Cavan Road Team who were overall winners and who had really entered in to the spirit of the evening by dressing up in Halloween costumes.
