Well done to the Girls from Kells. Running for Kilkenny City Harriers in the U15 Leinster Indoor 4 x 200m Relay final the three Kells Girls, Aoife Healy, Louisa Gilmore and Bláithín Holden were joined by their teammate Áine White and put in storming performances in both heats and final to take Bronze in a hotly contested race in the National Sports Campus. Kells was well represented at these championships with Noah Gilmore, Cormac Holden, Muireann Holden, Nicky Healy and Hugh Healy all competing for KCH. Well done to all.


Kells Historic Society is hosting a talk entitled the Dunnamaggin Murders on March 26th in Mullins Mills at 8pm by author and historian Tony Patterson.. In 1848 two locals named Prim and Yates were shot just outside Dunnamaggin. What ensued was one of the largest manhunts of that time in Ireland followed by a high profile trial. The Donemaggan murders as they were known was in every paper from Belfast to Kerry. Don't miss this opportunity to learn of some forgotten local history.
