Dinner
Dance
We enjoyed
a great night at our annual club dinner dance last Saturday evening. In the
wonderful surroundings of the Diamond Coast Hotel, we were delighted to welcome
Corofin’s Dylan Wall as our special guest - both of Dylan’s parents come from
our parish.
Arguably
the moment of the night was a prolonged standing ovation for the great PJ
Kavanagh, who was the Hall of Fame award winner. Whether it was in the black
and amber of Enniscrone/Kilglass or the black and white of Sligo, PJ always
excelled between the four white lines and it was fitting that his previous and
indeed continued contribution to our club be recognized.
Johnny
Mullaney’s commitment to the club was also honoured as he was chosen as the
Club Person of the Year. Johnny’s devotion in particular to looking after our
grounds at Quigabar is widely appreciated and commended by all of us within the
club.
The Player
of the Year award (The Freeman Memorial Shield) went to Cian Mulrooney for his
consistent high standards on the field throughout 2019, while Josh Ellis won
the Young Player of the Year award (McManus Memorial Shield) for his
performances in 2019.
Our Mothers
and Others also held their awards on the night: Carmel O’Neill was chosen as
the Club Person of the Year; Fidelma Starrs won the Best Newcomer while
Caroline Roberts collected the Most Dedicated Player Award. The Mothers and
Others make a valuable contribution to our club and we are delighted that their
group continues to go from strength to strength.
Our thanks
go to Dylan Wall, the Diamond Coast Hotel and all who attended.
Here’s to
2020.
