Appreciation was expressed to the parents and families who support the players by juggling busy schedules from training to matches, as well as attending and contributing to fundraising events.
Sponsors such as Glenveagh, ESB Networks, JP McManus, and local businesses were also acknowledged for their vital support at a time when rising costs for equipment and insurance make life harder for sporting and community organisations.
