6. Mrs Brown’s Boys
Catch the movie adaptation of cult television comedy Mrs Brown’s Boys at Grand Cinemas Bunbury. Brendan O’Carroll and family hit the big screen as title character Mrs Brown must fight the Irish revenue office. The Dublin fruit and vegetable stall that “she” owns is under threat and it is up to Mrs Brown to become a hero. Mrs Brown’s Boys D’Movie is set to produce more belly-aching laughs for its audience.
7. SBL play-offs
For the second successive year the South West Slammers men’s team have made the State Basketball League play-offs.
