Loughgiel Shamrocks celebrated their great 1983 All Ireland victory at a tribute Legends dinner in the Tullyglass Hotel on Friday night. In a really well organised event the men of 83 were honoured for their record breaking campaign four decades ago with a series of videos spread throughout the evening highlighting different part of their great success.
Sadly not all of the team were able to attend the event, Eamon Connolly having sadly passed away just a few weeks ago, while three of the others were unavailable on the night. Just McCormick was the man on the mic for the evening, and what a great job done introducing the players as they were called on stage to receive their awards.
A night to remember for this record breaking group of men who wrote their names in the history books on April 24th 1983.
