Rhode GAA have decided to honour the special achievements of two men who had a very successful 2016 at this year's Dinner Dance.

 

The Fahy Handball Club Man and Former Rhode GAA Chairperson Joe Masterson was elected last February as the Next President of the GAA Handball Association his term begins this year.

As Rhode GAA Chairman he brought the club to great heights and there is no doubting that Joe will do the same for GAA Handball.

 

The Little Village has always taken great Pride in the Top Jockey Pat Smullen and 2016 was one where we watched him ride to glory in the Epsom Derby where he stood beside the Queen and if that wasn't the icing on the cake he went on to further cement a wonderful year by winning the Irish Derby.
