Little change at top table in Louth

THERE will be very little change at the top table as Louth GAA clubs gear up foror annual convention in Darver on Monday y night.

In a now familiar pattern, none of the top jobs will be contested and in most case the incumbent or incoming officer will be elected without a challenge.

There will be limited elections for delegate positions at Leinster and Central Council and for the annual trips to Leinster Convention and Congress.

Some minor changes to the line-up will see Tomas O hEochaidh step down as development officer, with Padraic O’Connor the lone nominee to take overr the reins.

Dreadnots Paul Aspell looks set to filll the vacant Coaching Officer’s position and Stephen O’Brien of Pearse Og will take over from Fiachra Sheridan as Irish Language and Cultural Officer.

Meanwhile, Treasurer Aidan Berill (pictured) will report another healthy surplus to club delegates on Mon- day. Increased creased gate resor receipts, an improved fundraising yield and higher grants from provincial and central council mean the Naomh Mairtin clubman will report a surplus of €106, 929. Louth lost it’s main sponsor Morgan Fuels at the end of the year, but a successor m may well be announced on Monday nigh night.
