Dinner Dance
The club held a dinner dance last Saturday night which turned out to be a great success.
The club would like to thank Oisin McConville who travelled down from Armagh to be with us for the night and acted as guest speaker and gave excellent words of wisdom to all those that attended. Medals were presented to the management and players of the North Senior Hurling and the North and County Junior ‘A’ hurling winning teams.
Paddy Kelly and Seamus Hogan were both deserving winners of awards for their lifetime service to the club whilst Sinead Meagher received a Sporting Achievement award for her exploits in camogie and handball, winning both All Ireland and World Titles.
Paul Dooley also received a presentation for his work in promoting GAA during his time as principal of Kiladangan primary school. Paul Flynn was awarded with the Kiladangan Player of the Year award for 2016 whilst Barry Hogan, Willie Connors, David Sweeney and Tadhg Gallagher were presented with awards for representing Tipperary during 2016.
Thanks to the Thatched Cottage for hosting the event and provided excellent service as usual.
