Wexford GAA Rewards Excellence Wexford gaels gathered in numbers at The Talbot Hotel on Friday 14th February to honor the men and women who make our games unique, passionate, breathtaking, heart stopping, and above all entertaining. At the Glen Fuels/Wexford Supporters Valentine Ball Player of the Year event, awards were presented in 7 categories – Senior Hurling, Senior Football, U/21 Hurling, U/21 Football, Camogie, Ladies Football and Handball with the honors going to Eoin Moore, Daithi Waters, Ian Byrne, tied at a draw Lee Chin and Colm Kehoe, Kate Kelly for camogie, and the very young Ellen O’Brien taking the Ladies Football award and the even younger Holly Hynes getting the Handballer of the Year Award. MC for the evening was the irrepressible Mr. Liam Spratt who welcomed the 350 strong attendance and thanked the Sponsor Alan Keyes and Glen Fuels for their marvellous contribution to Wexford GAA and to the prestigious event.
Unfortunately, special guest DJ Carey had to cry off at short notice due to illness and former Kilkenny hurler Billy Murphy stepped in to make the presentation of Leinster medals to our U/21 hurlers. The national Chairman of Ladies Football Mr. Pat Quill was on hand to present All Ireland Runners Up medals to our beautiful and talented Ladies F o o t b a l l e r s a n d A l l I re l a n d Handballer winners were presented with their medals by Mr. Alan Keyes who also made a very special presentation to a very special lady Kate Kelly - 5 times All Ireland winner and 7 times All Star. Not many in the country can boast of same. The unassuming Kate was her usual modest self and remained gracious in her comments despite the cajoling from Mr. Spratt! Sponsor Alan Keyes said that he was delighted to be associated with Wexford GAA and thanked the Wexford Supporters Club for their help and co-operation organising the night. Mr. Keyes said that it was tremendous to see the numbers
that had turned out to celebrate all that is good and positive about Wexford GAA and he looked forward to many good years with them. County Secretary Margaret Doyle standing in for County Chairman Diarmuid Devereux was lavish in her praise of Wexford Supporters Club and in particular Chairman Arthur Quinn, Secretary Tom Boland and P.R.O. Maria Nolan for all their work not just on this event but throughout the year. Wexford GAA would not continue to operate she said without the support of Wexford Supporters Club. Chairman Arthur Quinn thanked all for coming and supporting the cream of Wexford GAA. He paid tribute to Alan Keyes and Glen Fuels for their wonderful sponsorship and endorsement of this very special event on the Wexford GAA Calendar. He complimented all the Nominees and congratulated all the winners and thanked all in attendance for their continued
encouragement and support. Before vacating the stage he complimented the hotel for the excellent meal and service and thanked the Pettitts for all their help to Wexford GAA over the years. One final Award was made before Alan Keyes handed over to the band The Groove to begin the musical part of the evening - The Best Dressed Couple Award was made to Anne and Oliver Furlong. As PRO of Wexford Supporters Club could I say a most sincere thank you to Alan Keyes, Glen Fuels and his expert team who have transformed this occasion into ‘The Event’ on the Wexford GAA social scene and could I take this opportunity to apologise to those who could not get tickets for the night and to those who were inconvenienced in any way on the night. With the overwhelming demand for tickets it was impossible to accommodate all but what a good complaint to have. Up Wexford! – Maria Nolan, Pro
