Gala Dinner Dance
We had a very successful celebration night on Saturday last and the fact that we were able to host it in the well presented Riverbank in the heart of Killanny made it all the more memorable. Well done Locky. Secretary Michael Crawley was master of ceremonies and what a job he done. He gave a special mention to team manager Andy Callan who did marvellous work with the players and brought them from junior to senior in two years.Take a bow Andy. We were very honoured to have the newly elected County Board Chairman Michael McMahon who was full of praise for all the hard work and commitment that all the players, officials and committee members give to their club, county and college teams. Michael went on to present the Hackett Cup medals to our senior team captained by stalwart Ronan Duffy, reserve team captained by the ever jovial Cillian Leegan and the 1979 junior double winning team captained by John Byrne and proudly assisted by Harry Boylan, Anthony Boylan, Denis Grimes, Dermot McGlew, Dermot Boylan, Johnny Callan, Finbarr Boylan, Liam Thornton, Tom Daly, Kevin Boylan, Francie Thornton, Peter Finnegan, John Beirne, Pat Traynor, Michéal Quinn, John Conlon, Michael Cunningham, Paddy Quinn, Johnny Quinn, Tommy O’Brien and Dessie O’Rourke.
