The All Ireland Confined Drama Finals came to a close last night with the Awards Night in The Patrician, Carrickmore. The audiences were treated to nine absolutely fantastic nights of amateur drama, with so much talent on the stage each night.
Every drama group that performed on stage over the past nine nights can be very proud of their achievement in making it all the way to the finals, but unfortunately, not everyone can be crowned the winner.
This year, that accolade goes to Glenamaddy Players for their performance of 'Chapatti' by Christian O'Reilly. Congratulations to the cast and crew on this brilliant win.
Runner-up spot went to Gorey Little Theatre for their performance of 'Gut' by Frances Poet, and third place went to Sliabh Aughty Drama Group for their performance of 'The Outgoing Tide' by Bruce Graham
Proudly sponsored by Nugent's Corner Bar, Pomeroy.
