Casey and Tye …

It’s been quite the week for Casey and Tye that ended on Saturday night with a fantastic performance of the Charleston on  the big stage of the Mullingar Park Hotel. Tye’s week began with a hat-trick of goals against Milltownpass in the ACL Div. 5 match and he followed this on Tuesday evening with an outrageous winning point against Tyrrellspass in the ACL Div. 1 match. There was also the little matter of two or three examinations in DIT to deal with during the week but Tye did say ‘I wouldn’t worry about them’ when he was asked to dance. Typical of Tye he said yes without hesitation provided he could fit in the practice around his football training, but he did warn us that his dancing was limited to a few sessions in Copperface Jacks. This was typical of Tye as he has always volunteered his services for Mullingar Shamrocks from acting as referee in under-age matches, to lending a hand at coaching etc.

Casey was also busy with Mullingar Shamrocks during the week and she lined out twice for our senior Ladies Gaelic Football team that had two great victories against Garrycastle and The Downs. There was even a few tears shed in the dugout on Friday night when Casey had to leave the field with a rib injury but Casey is made of tough stuff and the little matter of a rib injury wasn’t going to stop her from performing brilliantly on Saturday night. Like Tye, Casey was a Strictly Shamrocks volunteer from the start and has been involved in dancing from a young age.

On Saturday night Casey and Tye were superb in their Charleston to the music of Cabaret.

The Adamson-Garry and the McDermott families have a long association with Mullingar Shamrocks; the club is fortunate to have two superb role models in Casey and Tye and such wonderful ambassadors for the club and its activities.
