Santas vs Elves – The battle of the festive season was renewed again on St Stephens Day as the Santa’s got one over on the Elves in an entertaining contest played in festive spirits. Thanks to all the players for tagging out for the seasonal spectacle and to Terry Kelleher for organising the match day uniforms.
A sum in the region of thousand Euro was raised on the day with all proceeds going to the Leitrim / West Cavan branch of Down Syndrome Ireland.
Underage Medal Presentation – Huge thanks to All-Star Rory Beggan for presenting medals to our U12’s, U13’s and U15’s Sunday evening 16th. Our MC on the night was Terry Kelleher. Rory was a great example to all our young footballers and he gave a great insight into what it takes to become the best. Terry did an excellent job on the night- it was as good as the Sunday Game.! Thanks, Terry.
