The children had a snack in the Lumpers, while the parents and club members gathered in Kennedy’s on the Carrick Road later that evening.
Our thanks to Gerry Oakes and his committee for the manner in which they organised the event.

This left captain Andrew Smyth to receive the cup after a 1-13 to 2-9 victory in as dramatic a finish in our club history. Well done to all players, mentors and our ever loyal supporters.
