Lámh Dhearg held their 38th Annual Juvenile Presentation Awards night in a packed Beechlawn Hotel generously sponsored by Choice Blinds. Special guests were Parish Priest, Fr Patrick Devlin, Terry Mc Crudden Senior Football captain, Paddy Mervyn Senior Hurling captain, Sara Kennedy Senior Camogie captain, Ciara Doherty Vice Captain Senior LGFA and Hugh Kennedy Principal of club’s feeder School Ballymacward PS.
Chairman, Brian Smyth in his address warmly welcomed everyone, complimented the juveniles and mentors for their commitment throughout the season. He encouraged the juveniles to keep playing and working at their skills and they were all achievers, and the club has a healthy future ahead. Brian paid tribute to the successful panels ( u12 Camogs- Lavey Shield winners, u15 Camogs Feile C Regional Champions and u16 Camogs and LGFA winners of County B Championships) and thanked them for bringing great credit to the club.
Brian also outlined exciting plans for the clubs second phase of development and was confident members would positively help support the fund-raising ventures. Brian concluded by acknowledging the sterling work of committee members and club volunteers for their unstinting work throughout the season and thanked Colm Cochrane and his subcommittee for organising the night.
Before the presentation of the team and individual awards the packed room were shown two presentations, Lámhs on Tour 2023 and Pictorial Review of 2023 and they were both popularly received and enhanced the atmosphere of the night.
