This evening, members of the Rower Inistioge's 1980 minor panel, who won the club's first ever county title at the grade will be acknowledged at an event in Murphy's Bar at 8.30pm. All are welcome to join us. It is an evening to reminisce about long forgotten matches, and remember those members of the panel and management who are sadly no longer with us.
