Aoife Connaughton crowned Belle of Breaffy

At last Friday night’s Belle of Breaffy competition organised by Breaffy ladies GAA Club which was part of the Breaffy Blast Festival held in the village, Aoife Connaughton was crowned the Belle of Breaffy. As part of the competition, Aoife recited a poem she had written in tribute to the late Carmel Jordan who sadly passed away this summer. Carmel had been deeply involved in the ladies football club and other community activities until her passing. This is the poem that Aoife wrote and recited on the night

A Tribute To Carmel Jordan.

Along the slim horizon

Among the seven seas

The crisp brisk wind

That rustles through the trees

The ebb and flow of the ocean

And crystal clear lakes

The golden rays of sunshine

And frosty snow flakes

I live in everything around you

I am close to your heart

I am in your memory

However distant apart

We raise our glass to Carmel

A friend so kind and dear

Laugh a little just like her

You shall not shed a tear

The Belle of Breaffy, Barn Dance

and 10K run

A festival we will remember

Who said things can’t be done

The spirit of the GAA

And victories ahead

It makes Breaffy’s community

A family instead

We thank the organisers, sponsors and mentors

Through all the strain and stress

They put in a fantastic effort

To make this night a great success

So tonight as each Belle

Addresses the cheering crowd

Everyone united

Carmel I know you are so proud.
