Young Piper's Championship

2/12/2018

Everyone arrived on time for this year’s thoroughly enjoyable Young Piper’s Championship, despite the snowy weather. All of the pipers were excited to get started and proceeded to impress us with the high quality of their playing.

Ian K. MacDonald, our esteemed judge for the event, told all six entrants that they had done a good job.

The audience certainly enjoyed them and an added bonus was that we had a couple come to hear the event who were not part of the family or friends’ group, but who had read about the event on the website and thought it sounded interesting.

Appreciation is extended to Calvin Gordon who stepped up and assisted us as Steward for the day.

This was a nice reminder that everyone is welcome to attend all events and if you don’t know many people when you arrive, you will by the time you leave!

The results of the competition are as follows:

The winner of The Gaelic Society of Toronto Grade 3/4
Scott MacAulay Memorial Trophy and first place in his division:
Caleb Macpherson, Oshawa

The winner of The Gaelic Society of Toronto Grade 1/2
Captain Iain Macdonald Memorial Trophy
1st place - Colin Johnstone, Aurora
2nd place - Kayleigh Johnstone, Aurora
3rd place - Liam MacDonald, Wellesley
4th place - Michael Malish, Oshawa
5th place - Rachel Gordon, Toronto

On behalf of the Toronto Gaelic Society, Congratulations everyone on a job well done. We look forward to seeing you all again next year.
