The second of the Club’s Annual Youth and Underage Presentation Nights was held at the Station House Hotel on Friday, November 7th, and once again saw a fantastic turnout, with a packed audience in attendance.
Hosting the evening was the ever-capable Diarmaid Doherty, who did an excellent job managing the proceedings and ensuring everything ran smoothly for the players.
Key addresses were delivered by Steve Coll, Secretary of the Donegal Underage League, and Club Chairman Eamonn McConigley, both of whom spoke about the continued growth and success of the club’s youth structures.
Special guest BJ Banda joined Steve Coll in presenting the awards, making the evening even more memorable for all the young players recognised on the night.
A special word of thanks to the team at the Station House Hotel for their outstanding hospitality, as always, and to Brian McCormick Sports for supply of the trophies.
Thanks as always to Stephen Doherty for the photos on both nights.
