Pat Hamill welcomed Paul Butler back to the Braid as the ex All Saints footballer returned to Irelands green countryside for a visit to family and friends.
Paul runs the Baileys Smokehouse in Blauvelt NY. A few months back he hosted the Shane Uí Neill’s panel and entourage who where on a two game trip to the Big Apple. Needless to say everyone appreciated the gesture from Paul, and left the USA with fond memories from the Smokehouse, and gained friends for life.
A few players and some committee members arrived at the Halfway House to welcome Paul home to the Glens for a few days. He was telling us of his days when he lined out for the All Saints Gaelic Team where he would have been a thorn in the side of many a defender when he would have scored many a point!!
We would like to wish Paul and his wife Cheryl a big Céad Mile Failte to Co. Antrim and wish them a safe journey back to the US on Thursday.
