Medal Presentation Night

The Club held a very successful presentation night for the intermediate and minor North and County winning teams in the Lakeside th hotel on Saturday 15 February. It was great to welcome Liam Sheedy as special guest to present the medals to members of both winning panels. Liam addressed the large attendance complimenting Ballina on their great success in 2013. He spoke specifically to the Minor level intially urging them to stay in the game, to work hard and stay focused. To the new Senior team he wished them the very best in Senior ranks taking it step by step while at the same time recognising that they had reached their rightful goal. Both intermediate and minor management teams received presentations from the Club in their recognition of their great achievements. President Patsy Nevin presented the Dessie Nevin memorial shield to Enda Sheehy who received it on behalf of

the entire minor panel. The Eddie Maher trophy was presented to Donal Kent as club intermediate player of the year. On a lighter note Marc Acton received his award for the highest mileage in the Bike for Ballina fundraiser last June! After some lovely food and many photographs the band took centre stage and it is reliably reported that a number of our Strictly Come Dancing contestants were in sparkling form!
