Cathedral Bell–Ringers Taste All–Ireland Success
Christ Church Cathedral’s bell–ringing team is enjoying all–Ireland success. The team was victorious in all–Ireland competition which took place in Taney Church, Dundrum, at the weekend. They won the Murphy Cup with their performance of ‘Grandsire Triples’ which was acclaimed by the judging panel as “a delight”.
“This was music to our ears,” commented team member, Leslie Taylor. “Many recruits are being trained here to strengthen our dedicated band of men and women ringing the bells each Sunday.”
The keenly contested competition on the bells of Christ Church, Taney, required 10 minutes of ringing, monitored for faults. The cathedral team was up against strong performances by teams from Belfast, Cork and Limerick.
Members of the winning team are (pictured L–R): Leslie Taylor, Nigel Pelow, Tony Reale, Gary Maguire, Ian Bell, David Hogan, Vyvyenne Chamberlain and Barbara Bell.
