Ballymore Notes

Millmore Gaels: Last Friday evening saw the communities of Milltown and Ballymore come together to celebrate one of the most successful years in the history of the Millmore Gaels club. A huge crowd congregated in the Community Centre, in Ballymore to present medals to the under 16 and 18 teams. Opening the evening club Chairman Edward Somers thanked all those who attended and paid tribute to the mentors and parents without whose support the club would not achieve half the success it has. He also paid special tribute to Denis O"Roarke who apart from being the clubs Secretary and Treasurer also acts as a Mentor, Driver, Trainer and whose enthusiasm sums up the spirit within the club. The medals were presented to both teams by Paddy Martin, Ballymore GAA and Micky Dillion, Milltown GAA.
