In the GAA Centre afterwards the presentation of the Fr Willie Cup and various novelty awards was made by Rita (Fr Willies housekeeper) The evening concluded with a great night of the very best in music,song, dance and recitation all organised by local community groups and musical artists. The M.C. on the night Mr Charlie Lynch made sure the proceedings ran smoothly throughout the evening. A big thanks from the Aghyaran GAA club to everyone who organ Àised or helped in any way to make this a memorable occasion one that Fr Willie himself would have been proud of.

Ladies - Our U14 girls lost in the final of the championship to Moy, They done themselves and the club proud.
