OUR Senior Academy brought the curtain down on the 2024/25 campaign by presenting their end-of-season awards…
Hosted in the upstairs bar in the Social Club, players, coaches, staff and parents were in attendance for the prize giving.
Senior Academy Director, Ronan O’Donnell, shared his thoughts on the year: “The end of season NIFL Senior Academy awards is a chance for us to reflect back and celebrate the hard work and successes from the 2024/25 season.
“We thank all the players, parents/guardians, coaches and everyone who contributed to the 24/25 season and put on record that we could do what we do without everyone pulling in one direction.
“We would like to thank people who put the night together from Irene Brown who looked after the food to Laura Lagan who helped organise trophies. We also thank Willie Huey who helped with the room and Clement Dealey who took photographs, as well as our new first-team manager Ruaidhri Higgins and assistant coach Conor Loughrey who were in attendance.
“Our attention will now turn to next season and we will look to make further improvements in the Academy next year and beyond.”
