Juvenile Presentation Awards
Our annual juvenile presentation of player of the year awards and medals was held in the showroom of our senior team sponsors John Kelly Opel on Thursday evening last. The guests on the day to present the medals and trophies were county senior hurling captain Kevin Moran and Jake Dillon.
Juvenile chairman Paudie Brosnan welcomed the lads and their parents. He complimented all the teams who had represented the club during the year and emphasised the importance of the enjoyment of playing whether trophies were being won or not. He specially emphasised the wonderful discipline and behaviour of the lads both on and off the field. He thanked all the various team mentors for their work and the three schools for their help. He thanked the groundsmen in Cleaboy and Gracedieu for the excellent condition of the pitches always. He then thanked clubman Martin Doyle of John Kelly Opel for providing their facilities and their hospitality on the night.
The Eastern Division 2 medals were then presented to our U-14 footballers. It was then on to the presentation of the various player of the year and most improved player awards.
