Once more the South of Ireland Pipe Band Championships were held in Cobh on the Sunday of the June Bank Holiday weekend.The organisers were very lucky with the weather, for the rain stopped just as the event got under way at Sunday lunchtime. The rain the previous day had been torrential. It would have been disastrous if it had continued! As it cleared the crowds came out in numbers. By mid afternoon, as the competition was in full swing, there were thousands of spectators out. The highlight of the evening was the march by the mass bands from the square, along the full length of Westbourne Place, and finishing at the Heritage Centre. What a sound and what a sight!!!
Well done to Cobh Pipe Band who were among the honours this year and a big well done to Cobh also for the more than capable organisation of the event. Hats off to you guys!!!
