Gold In Clontibret
The members of Cluain Tiobraid Ui Neill G.A.C. have good reason to rejoice after being honoured with a Club Maith Gold Award. Club Maith is a club accreditation scheme which is unique to the GAA. It allows clubs to be benchmarked against best practice standards across the full range of GAA club activity. A Club Maith award makes a clear, proven statement about the quality of a club right across the board. Among those who helped secure this prestigious award for Cumann Cluain Tiobraid Ui Neilll G.A.C. was their Development Officer, Kieran Lavelle, who said, “After endless hours of preparation, planning, meetings and hard work, we are delighted to have received the gold award certificate from the Ulster Council in our centenary year. This is a great honour for our club which is in good stead right now and demonstrates that we have structures in place that will keep us moving in the right direction for the next 100 years to come, both on and off the field of play.”
