A Fantastic Night Celebrating Our Future Stars!
The first of the Club’s two Annual Youth and Underage Presentation Nights took place at the Station House Hotel on Monday, 2nd November 2026, with a fantastic turnout and a packed audience coming together to celebrate the achievements of our young players. The evening was dedicated to all our Underage Girls teams, along with the U8, U9 and U10 boys' teams.
We were delighted to welcome Councillor Michael McBride, National League Team Manager Stephen McConnell, Head of Women’s Football Brid McGinty and Ladies Senior Team Captain Erin Doherty. They joined us to present the awards and recognise the hard work, commitment and development of our players throughout the season.
The evening was expertly hosted by the ever-capable Eric White, who did an excellent job keeping proceedings running smoothly and ensuring the night was a memorable occasion for everyone in attendance.
A number of special addresses were delivered during the evening by Club Chairman Eamonn McConigley, Head of Women’s Football Brid McGinty and Councillor Michael McBride, each highlighting the importance of youth development, community involvement and the role our young players play in the future of Letterkenny Rovers.
A particularly special moment during the evening came when Brid McGinty made a presentation to Joanne Wade in recognition of her outstanding contribution to Letterkenny Rovers. Joanne’s dedication, generosity and willingness to always go above and beyond as both a volunteer and coach are greatly appreciated by everyone at the club.
The Club would like to sincerely thank everyone who attended and helped make the evening such a success. A special word of thanks goes to Brian Gallagher and the management and staff of the Station House Hotel for their outstanding hospitality, as always, and to Brian McCormick Sports for supplying the trophies.
Most importantly, congratulations to all our players who received awards. Your commitment, enthusiasm and passion for the game make us incredibly proud.
The future of Letterkenny Rovers is in good hands!
