The annual
club awards night took place last Saturday night 26th in the GAA
Pavilion. A large crowd was in attendance to celebrate the achievements of the
u13 footballers who received their medals for their championship win last year
and the Minor footballers who also got their medals after their victory in the
league final. Rory O Sullivan (Argideen Rangers) was the special guest on the
night and spoke to both sets of players on the importance of listening to their
mentors and to get involved with both school and college football as this will
help you improve as a player and a person. Also on the night, Ger O Donovan was
crowded Adult Player of the year, Martin Collins, who captained the Cork u16’s
to Munster final victory, was given the Young Player of the year award and the
final award on the night was for Club Member of the year and this award went to
Noel Crowley who guided the Junior 3 footballers to championship success.
A special
presentation was made by the club to Pat O Callaghan, who stepped down from the
role of treasurer in 2012, after over a quarter of a century in the position.
Pat stated that it was a joy to be able to see the fine facilities that are now
on show at John William Goulding Park after his many years of dedication to the
role.
