DINNER DANCE 2008

Carrigaline Camogie Club held a very enjoyable victory dinner last Saturday night in the CarrigCourt Hotel. It was attended by over 200 players and supporters. Sean Og O'Halpín, addressing the assembled as Gaeilge, presented medals to the U16 players who won the county B League and Championship Double in 2007. He reminded the players that there will be days like these, but there will also be other days when they don’t do quite so well. In what was his first time making presentations to female sportspersons, he also emphasised the success that females seem to have over their male counterparts in areas of academia and athletics in this country. He was aided and abetted in his presentations by the recently returned from South America, Nicholas Murphy.

Club Chairman Tom Kiely thanked all those who trained teams in the club during the year. In particular he thanked Marie Scully, Tom Jones and Pat Moran for their preparation of the U16 squad. Also there was praise for the trojan work of Paul Buckley and Angela Egan with the under 15 squad. Adrian O'Meara together with Pat Moran and John Middleton received awards in recognition of their work with the senior squad.

Maria Moran, captain of the Carrigaline u16 team was presented with an award for representing Cork at under 16B in 2007. She very eloquently thanked the team and mentors for their efforts. John Middleton presented Meabh Barry with the prestigious award for U18 player of 2007 and Jan Kiernan with senior player of the year and hoped that 2008 would bring a big effort from the senior squad to bring fresh honours to the club.

Brian Maye announced that the recipient of the Supreme award for 2007 was Ciarán O'Keeffe and the whole floor was on their feet when it was jointly presented by Sean Og and Nicholas. Also in attendance were club president Jackie O'Connor and vice president and former player Agnes O'Reilly. County juvenile board chairperson, Tracey Sheehan and Mary Newman of the senior board congratulated the club and wished the club every success in the future. A great night was enjoyed by all.

We'd also like to especially thank our sponsors for the wonderful prizes they sponsored for our raffle on the night.
