EAST Down AC held its annual senior awards presentation on Saturday night.

The occasion was superbly organised by the club’s social secretary, Janine Murray, ably assisted by Alison Carroll and a few others including Roisin Gaffney, Gavin McConvey and Daniel McClean, and a great night’s craic was enjoyed by many of the members and their friends.

The winners of the awards were as follows:

 Most Improved Female Athlete, Clare Carson; Most Improved Male Athlete, Gavin Hynds; Male Athlete of the Year, Phillip Vint; Female Athlete of the Year, Deirdre Weatherall; Club Person of the Year, Alison Carroll.

Club chairman Tom McClean paid tribute to all the athletes who had represented the club throughout the past year.

He also congratulated the hard-working committee who were eager to do everything in their power to deliver excellent facilities and coaching for the benefit of all the members, and to parents who were stepping in to help the coaches on junior club training nights.

He said that the club’s premises, which were the envy of most other clubs, were now used on five out of 7  days every week for a variety of fitness-related activities and he thanked the management and staff of AMH for their ongoing help and co-operation.

He called for a special round of applause for Tony and his staff in the Gaolers Kitchen for providing a very enjoyable meal. He wished all those present and all the members, juniors and seniors, continued and even greater success in the coming year.
