AUSTIN Stacks held their annual social in Ballyroe Heights Hotel on Sunday night and it was a resounding success.
Yesterday we brought you photos from the event (click here) which was attended by over 350 of the Rockie faithful and we now have many more photos below.
After the champagne reception, there was a slide show presentation of photographic action from the Austin Stacks club recorded during the year.
Before the meal was served Francie Breen spoke on behalf of the family of the late Teddy Brick, recounting some memories before a minute’s standing ovation was observed by all present in his memory.
Senior Team Manager, Stephen Stack spoke with enthusiasm, and on behalf of the management and senior team presented the Austin Stacks Club and supporters with a framed montage of photos depicting memories of the year past.
Mikey Collins was named Senior Footballer of the Year and was presented with the perpetual shield. The senior captain for the coming year is Daniel Bohan and vice-captain is Fergal McNamara.
In a break with tradition, the award for best club supporter of the year was presented to Denis “Dee Butcher” O’Regan, who accepted the trophy on behalf of all the Austin Stacks supporters.
The Hurler of Year was Sean King, who received the McAllen Memorial Shield. The Players Hurler of the Year Award was presented to MC for the evening, Andrew Morrissey, by Club Chairman, Aidan O’Connor.
