Juvenile Presentation: There was a great turnout on Sunday night in the Complex for our Juvenile Presentation night. Youth Officer Macartan McKenna organised a great event, with special guests Ciaran McKeever, Ciara McAnespie and Darren Hughes presenting the various medals and awards. Ciaran was kind enough to bring along the Cormac McAnallen trophy which the Irish International Rules team recently won, and many of those who attended on the night took the opportunity to get a photo taken with the silverware and the special guests. Well done to all the juvenile boys and girls, and their mentors for their involvement and dedication throughout the year. Thanks also to everyone who attended or helped out on the night. If any of the boys from the U12 Division 4, U14 Division 1, U14 Division 5 and U16 double winning teams were unable to attend the Presentation Night last Sunday, they can collect their medals by contacting Macartan McKenna on 086-3425380.
