Letterkenny Gaels Club Notes.
Our annual Hurling Presentation evening took place on Saturday last at the Clubhouse to mark our hurlers achievements during 2016.
All players, and their families from under 6 up to minor reflected on a great year of hurling.
Five Gaels County minor players presented each child with a medal or certificate for participating in blitzes and matches. Club Chairman Charlie Cannon presented the Minors Players Player of the Year award to Brian Diver. Other award winners on the evening were; Under 14 Players Player of the Year; Matthew Winters and Under 16 Players Player of the Year; Patrick Page. Well done to all the players for your efforts in 2016. A special thanks to our coaches, managers and committee. Thanks also to everyone who helped out on the night of the presentation and to the parents and supporters for a great turn out.
