The South West Antrim GAA board held their annual juvenile presentation in the Elk bar on Thursday night and once again the event was a resounding success. Representatives from every club in the South West attended an event which marked the retirement of chairman, Colum Walsh who has given outstanding service to the divisional board during his five years as chairman.

Colum Walsh paid tribute to all the winners of the various competitions, to the referees who had made the games possible and to all those who had participated regardless of whether they had won trophies or not “you are all a success story” he concluded.
