It was here that we honoured our football stars of the future and presented awards to the most outstanding players of all age groups. We honoured all the successes our underage sides have had i the last year, but special mention must†go to our U-12 side who are the County A Champions and†winners of the North East League. Also,†our†U-16 team who won the County B-Shield.†Congratulations to all players who attended, but particular mention must be made to several players; Vova Rooney (U-12, Most Dedicated Player), Michael Doyle (U-12, Player Of The Year; Man Of The Match in the U-12 County Final), Aidan Carthy (U-14, Most Dedicated Player), Stuart Synnott (U-14, Player Of The Year), Shane Farrell (U-16, Most Dedicated Player) and Stephen Davis (U-16, Player Of The Year).
