First and foremost we would to thank everyone who made it to the Dinner Dance and Awards ceremony at the Red House Hotel. I think everyone will agree it was an amazing night, with live music from band 'Whiteside' keeping the dance floor bouncing all night. Over 100 people attended and going by the photos, everyone had a dance at some point!!
President Kevin Brown made a great speech and we were lucky enough to have some special guests to hand out the big award of the evening. Joan and Paul Ireland presented the now named 'Pete Ireland Players Player of the Season Award'.

Firstly, flowers were presented by Kevin Brown with the help of Scott Wightman to some of the ladies who have done so much for the club this season namely: Moira Orr, Casey Morrison and the 1st Lady that is the wonderful Mrs Kirstie Brown. Think there were a tear or two shed at this point.....and that was just me!!!
