In Chairman Austin Broderick’s speech, he thanked everyone who contributed to the club throughout the year especially those who provided top notch hospitality for visiting teams, when there were matches in the field and all those who helped make the lotto such a fantastic success in its first year.

He also paid tribute to the fantastic success that had been achieved this year none more so than capturing the Dan Breen cup for the first time and he saluted the players for their terrific dedication and efforts and hoped they would put in the same efforts in 2012. He also paid tribute to the other county winning teams –Junior B and Minor hurlers. He said that with such a small amount of players at the club’s disposal it was fantastic achievement to win county titles.  

 

Adjourned convention takes place on Friday 20^th January in Inch dressing rooms.

 

There are 2 fantastic DVD’s and the club yearbook on sale at the moment. Given the massive success achieved by the club in 2011, the DVD’s make fantastic viewing and there is 5 hours of viewing on both DVD’s. One DVD has comprehensive coverage of the Senior year while the other DVD covers the Junior B’s year as well as the minor county hurling title. These can be bought separately or as part of a package. For more information and prices contact any committee member in the next week.

 

  

The Juvenile Club held a medal presentation on Sunday 18th December in Drom Community Hall. With over 317 medals to be given out after a fantastic year on the playing field at every grade it was heart warming to see some many youngsters collecting medals.

The under 10s collected their Paddy Carey Shield medals, the under 12s collected Premier Games Football Final medals while the under 14s collected an astonishing haul of seven medals for Mid and County hurling & Football medals, Feile medals and also Peil medals. Well done to all the players and their mentors. We would like to thank Seamus Callanan and Liam McGrath for giving up their spare time and making the presentations. They are highly regarded by our young players. Thanks also to representatives from the Mid Bord na nOg including Joe Kennedy & Andy O’Gorman and new Chairman Joe O’Sullivan, our very own Sally Young Mid Bord na nOg secretary ,Andy Ryan Coaching Officer (Mid GDA), Paudie Butler and Austin Broderick Chairman of Drom-Inch Senior Club for addressing the audience. After the formalities there were lots of refreshments for everyone, thanks to donations from all of the parents. It is much appreciated by the club. Also to finish the night we had fantastic performances by County Scor na nOg solo song champion Ashley Shanahan and Munster Under 7 Irish Dancing Champion Ciara Prout. Hopefully 2012 will be as successful and this time next year we’ll have another busy night.
