Presentation by founder-member Tony Watkins of the League-Winner Trophy to 

Shay Coyne 

Tony with his audience in rapt attention....

Shay being awarded and congratulated on his well-deserved, winning performance by Tony.

The trophy was sponsored by Olive's Room / Moloughneys courtesy of Manager, Liam Matthews.  Our thanks, Liam.

Shay's gracious acceptance speech.....somehow I don't think it was his first sports award!

Great photograph of the assembled group courtesy of Fionnuala Watkins.

A few members were unavoidably absent but wished they could have made it.
Hope to see everybody at end of January 2016 for the start of a new season!
