Castleisland AFC will hold a major fund raising event, Lip Sync Battle Castleisland in the local community centre on Friday, March 31^st. 2017 at 8pm.

Solos, Duets and Groups

There will be solos, duets and groups on the night, with the contestants decked out in costume to get as close as they can to the real thing.

This fundraising drive started the end of January with 12 well-known acts, and over 50 people involved.

This group has been meeting twice a week to practice with choreographer, Cassie Leen and have put in a lot of hard work to perfect their acts.
