What a fantastic evening was had at our medal presentation ceremony in the Nagle Rice Community Centre last evening. Our special guests, David Moran and Tommy Walsh delighted the audience young and old with their presence.
By Deirdre O’Sullivan
David addressed the young footballers encouraging them to ‘stick together and keep it going’ and recalled the many great times he has had through football with his club. Tommy and David are both great ambassadors for ‘sticking with it’.
Resilience, Determination and Dedication
Both have been very unfortunate with injuries but their resilience, determination and dedication has ensured that they continue to play this great game. After the medal presentation, the boys posed for photographs and signed autographs for their many excited fans.
We sincerely appreciate them taking time out of their extremely busy schedule to join us. We also commend all the footballers for the respect they showed to our guests. You are a credit to yourselves, your parents/guardians and your mentors.
