Creggan Kickham’s annual dinner

The word legend is often overused but not for this man. Tony McCollum, seen here with his wife Frances, stood down last year after almost a quarter of a Century as Creggan club chairman. The club marked the occassion by presenting him with a aerial photograph of the ground he did so much to develop. Our picture shows Tony and Frances receiving the photo from club stalwart Paddy Marron.
