Two members of The Meath Writers' Circle made the short-list for the Poet of Fingal Competition which was held last night at "The Star" main street in Swords. The winner of the poetry competition was Alyn Senn whose poem was titled "Husband" while the short story award went to Paddy Ryan from Malahide and the Swords section went all the way to Chicago and Patrick Savage. The literary awards were presented  by the Mayor of Fingal Cllr. Cian O' Callaghan while music and entertainment was provided by "The Mummers". A mix of trad and Dublin soul, and the All-Ireland looming! This was a great event with enough food to last for days but sadly no cup. Picked up a copy of "Swords Voices" and there's a local connection or two.
