GAA Dinner Dance

The Edenderry GAA dance held in the Hamlet in Johnstownbridge last Friday night was a great success and a night thoroughly enjoyed by all, well done to the Execute committee on a superbly organised occasion and in particular to David Farrell for his assistance with the ladies club in the preparations. On the night the ladies club gave out two player of the year awards for minor and senior ladies. The Minor award went to Aisling O’Connor and the Senior award to Aoife O’Neill. Both girls were very deserving of their awards and many congrats to you both. The citations used on the night for the girls read as follows.
