North Antrim GAA held their awards dinner in the Marine Hotel on Friday night where the trophies which the club’s had battled for over the year were handed out, those that were won in north Antrim competitions and in All County. Chairman Paddy Gray welcomed all those who attended and started the evening by presenting a sponsorship cheque for £500 to the Saffron Gael, something that is once again greatly appreciated.
The Hurler of the Year awards for Junior, Intermediate and Senior were re-introduced this season with Rasharkin’s Conor McKeever picking up the Junior, James Rocket Black getting the Intermediate and Paddy Burke of Ruairi Og Cushendall getting the Senior award. Sadly Rocket was unable to attend because of a family bereavement and Paddy could not be there because of Cushendall’s Ulster semi-final the following evening.
Paddy’s mother Clare was there to pick up her sons award while club chairman Skinner McAlister was the man to pick up a host of throphies, including the Volenteer Cup for the Senior Hurling Championship. Loughgiel Camogs were in a similar position as they were in action in the Ulster Club final the following afternoon. Dunloy Camogs picked up the Division 1 and 2 League trophies, plus the Senior Feis Cup.
