Juvenile

Christmas Food Appeal in conjunction with St. Vincent De Paul

Juvenile Christmas Social & Christmas Draw
We had a great turnout on Saturday evening last for our Juvenile Social for all our Fe10 – 16 players and their families.  There was a great atmosphere in the hall and it was great to see the club hall packed full of players and parents and a wonderful way in which to end the year.

Once all the players had enjoyed a bite to eat they all took to their seats for the presentation of medals.  All groups were called forward by their Managers to receive their medals and had a team photograph taken with their respective medals and cups won during the year.  We bidded farewell to this year’s Fe16 players who have completed their time in the Juvenile section of the club.  We wish them and their selectors all the very best as they transition over to the adult side of the club.  The Juvenile committee made a presentation to each of the selectors by way of a thank you and a presentation was also made to them on behalf of the players. The Social concluded with presentations of Most Improved Player of the year awards.  All managers spoke very highly of all the players chosen as recipients for this years award.  We congratulate them all.

Fe11 –Rory Lester, Fe 12 – Fionn Dalton, Fe13 – James Condon, Fe14 – Gavin Reddy, Fe15 – Ethan Daly & Fe16 – Ross O’ Regan.

We would like to thank Monsignor Gould for joining us on the evening and thank Andrew Foley for his slide show of Juvenile Photographs during the evening.  Andrew took all the team photographs on the night and a link to Andrews photographs has been created on the club website or click here to view them.

The Juvenile Christmas Raffle & Draw took place in an equally packed lounge.  There were certainly no shortage of prizes in the players raffle! It was great to see the children all eagerly checking their ticket numbers and there were plenty of very happy and smiling faces with all the prizes won.  Following the raffle the Christmas Draw took place followed by Music in the lounge.  It was a great evening’s entertainment. 

We would like to sincerely thank all those who bought tickets and supported our Christmas Draw and congratulate the winners.  To everyone who has helped out in the Club during the year we thank you and wish all our players, coaches, club members, sponsors and all their families a very happy Christmas.
