Presidential Visit
On Wednesday last we had the great honour of welcoming
President of the GAA, Liam O’Neill to our club grounds. On his arrival at The
Park Hotel, Liam was welcomed by Club Chairman Frank Sweeney after which he was
shown a presentation about the history of our Club and our current development
plans for our club grounds. In his address to the club members gathered, Liam
praised the club for its ambitious development plans and for the work in
promoting both hurling and football to the youth of our parish. He went onto
say that it was very pleasing to see that our club is working so closely with
the Ladies Football and Camoige Clubs in our parish as the GAA are trying to
bring the different organisations together at National Level.
Following some light refreshments it was on to the
Club Grounds for the main purpose of the President’s visit. Having viewed the
development work which has taken place in the grounds and inspecting the
proposed new playing pitch Liam presented the playing gear to our double Féile
Champions. Liam spoke with the players at considerable length and from
listening to his speech it was very obvious he has a strong belief that with
younger players the emphasis should be on coaching of skills and most
importantly, enjoyment of our games. This is a view that we of course share
fully. Juvenile Chairman Michael Ferncombe thanked the President for honouring
us in the club by coming down to present the gear to the players and wished the
Féile panel the very best of luck at both Féiles. The President remained in the
club grounds for a considerable amount of time afterwards viewing various
underage coaching sessions and meeting as many Club Personnel as possible. It
was a night to remember for us in the club and we thanked all those who helped
on the night especially the hard working ladies who had fabulous spread of food
available for the massive crowd in attendance.
