ON Saturday last the presentation night ,previously postponed so as not to clash with the arrival of the late Dermot Foley in the Church,was held in the Parish Hall.The place was jammers, a credit to the wonderful work being carried on these last twenty four years in the promotion of the ancient game.
As honorary president I was overjoyed to have been invited by those over the under 6 and 8 children to present a parchment and sweets to their charges and was greeted most civilly by them..It is indeed wonderful to see the second generation of young ladies partaking so enthusiastically in the Club.If they are as good as their mothers that will more than do.
It is also very gratifying to see so many recent arrivals to the Parish so deeply involved and sharing in the development of what is a new sport to many of them.
We have teams at all stages from under 6 to Junior and a mix of administrators willing to learn and enough old hands to maximise the chances of success on the field of play and ensure the future development of the club.
Tommy Welsh,a selector on the Meath Junior Team and Hurl maker extraordinaire and some members of the successful Meath Junior Team presented medals to the under 15 and 16 teams who were runners up in their respective competitions.
Supremo Tom Byrne did fear an ti,keeping things moving along nicely.Sprocket supplied the music and food and non alcoholic drink of the utmost quality was supplied by a most competent committee.
Major Championship success cannot be far away.
