THERE was a fantastic atmosphere at the Ballyroe Heights Hotel on Friday night as all at Crotta O’Neills celebrated the past year.

With a third County Minor title in four years secured back in August, there was a lot to celebrate too.

The victorious minor hurling panel received their County Championship medals from special guest Richie McCarthy, All Ireland Senior Hurler and All Star with Limerick.

The club’s Hall Of Fame award (Matt Stack and P J Stack Memorial Trophy) was presented to Mike Leen. The Senior Hurler of The Year went to Shane Nolan.
