Medal Presentation
Our medal presentation for the victorious
underage teams of 2013 took place in the Friary college canteen on Friday night
last. This was an outstanding success with no fewer than 80 young children
receiving medals on the night. Our MC for the night was Kieran O’ Connor and as
usual we thank him for doing a very professional job. We had speeches on the
night from our juvenile chairman Michael Ferncombe and our adult chairman
Bernard Shields. From everyone involved a special word of thanks must go to
Babs Kiely and her team in the Friary for providing refreshments which were
enjoyed by both young and old alike.
The medals on the night were presented by our
special guest Niamh Briggs from the Irish international ladies rugby team who last
year won the grand slam for the very first time. Niamh then went on to win
international player of the year which is an outstanding achievement for a
local girl with strong connections to the club through her playing involvement
with the ladies footballers and through her dad Michael and of course her
brother Shane. We thank Niamh most sincerely for taking time out of her busy
schedule to present our medals and give the youngsters plenty of advice in her
speech.
The teams who received medals on the night
were the under 12 hurlers and footballers, the under 13 hurlers and footballers
the under 14 hurlers and footballers and the under 16 footballers. All in all
on the playing field 2013 was a very successful year for our juvenile section
and let’s hope these medals are the first of many for most involved. We would
also like to thank all the players and especially their parents for turning up
on the night and making the night the success it was.
