Abhainn Dalla Victory Social

The achievements of the Abhainn Dalla Ladies footballers were celebrated at their victory social at the Charleville Park hotel. The amalgamation of Newmarket and Kanturk ladies footballers from U14 upwards enjoyed tremendous success bringing home silverware at almost every grade. The U14, U16 and Minor footballers achieved success at North Cork and the Intermediate footballers bringing North Cork and County leagues back to Duhallow.

MC for the evening, Denys O‘Brien, welcomed special guests Neilus Carroll and Patrick Buckley representing the North Cork board and Catherine Ring of the Cork County Board.

The 2021, U14 North Cork league winners were first presented their medals by Marie Arnold and were also coached by Denys O’Brien and Anthony Linehan.

The U16 girls who enjoyed North Cork success over Castlemagner at Lismire in August were presented their medals by Jeremiah Roche who was ably assisted on the side line by Sheila Roche and Chris Price.

Mick Lynch then took to the podium to present the Minor girls with their medals. They enjoyed a thrilling victory over Kilshanning at Glantane in October. Chris Cleary also coached the girls.

Finally, the intermediate team, coached by Denys O’Brien and Joe Moynihan, received their medals. They enjoyed North Cork league success over Dromtariffe and County league success over Nemo Rangers last August at Grenagh with an exhibition of fast moving and free flowing football, scoring 1-20 in the process.

With food and formalities over, it was up to the excellent Deuces Wild to entertain the guests who packed out the dance floor. With a mix of both old and young in attendance, it was great for younger club members to share in the celebrations and inspire them to greater things in the future.

So, keep an eye out for games involving the Abhainn Dalla girls during 2023 and show them the support they deserve.
