A presentation and Christmas Party was held for the U6, U8 and U10 age groups and parents in the club last Saturday. The party kicked of with a disco followed by a buffet.

First of our two special guests at the event was Aodhan Gallagher of St Gall’s and Antrim. Club Chairman, Tommy Shaw, welcomed Aodhan and paid tribute to the contribution that he had made during Antrim’s successful summer campaign. He also wished St Gall’s all the best in their quest for All-Ireland club honours and thanked Aodhan for giving up his time to attend.

Aodhan then carried out the presentations, footballer of the year, most improved player of the year and top scorer for each of the age groups before presenting each of the kids with a medal for their contribution throughout the year. Aodhan also brought along the Ulster Club Championship trophy and the kids were delighted to have their photos take with it.

Our second guest was none other than the man in the big red suit with the white beard who arrived with a special delivery of selection boxes from the North Pole. Everyone received their selection box which rounded of an excellent afternoon’s entertainment.

Chris Brady and AntoMcGrattan secured the Junior B Antrim Doubles Handball title last Sunday with an emphatic win over the St Paul’s pairing of Kevin Gamble and Paul Burns. The first game was a tight affair with the St Paul’s duo racing into a 9-1 lead before Chris and Anto steadied their game and played their way back into the game. With well executed shots they forged into a 20-14 lead only for the St Paul’s boys to stage a fight back. At 18 they lost their serve giving the Davitt’s pair the opportunity to serve for the game and this time they got the decisive point to take the game 21-18.   Continue reading this post…
