The inaugural Kilanerin.com Poetry Competition which was open to the 6th Class Students from the three parish schools; Kilanerin, Ballyfad and Ballythomas. From the 21 participants, there was a great selection of poetry for the Judges to go through and with the high standard of entries it made the decision to choose the winners all the more difficult. The theme for the poetry this year was the Kilanerin.com motto “Remembering Yesterday, Living Today, Creating Tomorrow”.
Congratulations to Jennifer Loughlin on winning the Kilanerin.com Poetry Competition 2011 and also to the runner-ups Patrick O’Connor, Éimear Gregory and Vivien Ryan.
