Our deepest condolences go out to his family, Ellen, Jacqui, Shelley, Liam and Lisa. 

If you'd like to pay your respects, the funeral is on Friday 13th Jan at St Anne's Church, Emmet St, Newtown at 10.30

Man of Aran (1934) is a fictional documentary (docufiction) by Robert J. Flaherty about 
life on the Aran Islands off the western coast of Ireland. It portrays characters living in pre modern conditions, documenting their daily routines such as fishing off high cliffs, farming potatoes where there is little soil, and hunting for huge basking sharks to get liver oil for lamps.

Wellington Hutt Valley GAA - Finalists 2010

Picture
Our congratulations go to the Men's Senior team who represented Wellington at the recent Australasian Championships in Auckland.

The boys made it to the Senior final for the first time in the history of Wellington GAA, but were desperately unlucky to lose out to Queensland after 2 sets of extra time.

In a fantastic game of football, Queensland came out on top on a scoreline of 0-22 to 4-06 (18)

All the lads did Wellington proud and a special thanks goes out to all the supporters who made the trip up for the final.
