The award will be presented to the club at the County Board Dinner in January and will provide a fitting finale to the juvenile year.

Proceedings will begin with a five course meal, served at 8.00 sharp, and the presentation of medals to members of both teams will follow.

An auction of sporting and other items will be held and the funds raised will help with the pitch development that is planned for 2013. A number of very attractive items for auction have already been secured.

An open sale of tickets will take place in the meeting room over the handball alley on Friday 14th December at eight o’clock.  Tickets are strictly limited in number. A pair of tickets would make an ideal present for family members at this time of the year!!!!!!
