Academy Tournament Finals – Under lights, our 7-10 year old boys and girls lit up the stage by putting on an exhibition of football on Friday 16th March at our Academy Finals. We all admired how much they have developed as individual and team players throughout this tournament. What a credit they are to their families. We salute our players. Glencar Manorhamilton’s future is certainly shining bright. Special thanks to John Conlon for allowing us the use of the wonderful facilities of St Clare’s NS which are a credit to the staff, parents and Board of Management. Our parents are to be complimented for supporting our club by allowing their children to become valuable members, by providing encouragement to all players and coaches on an ongoing basis and of course for providing refreshments for everyone for the post-match reception and presentations. We were honoured to have Stuart Gilbride and Shane Devaney in attendance on the night to present the Sarah Gilbride Memorial Cup and the Devaney Family Memorial Cup. Both families are synonymous with our club and this link is a lasting legacy. Last but not least we are so fortunate to have coaches of the calibre of James Glancy, Dominic Kelly and Kevin McManus nurturing our crop of talent week in week out at this age group. We are indebted to them – Míle Buiochas lads.
