A super crowd turned out for Glenswilly GAA Club’s annual dinner dance at the Station House Hotel in Letterkenny at the weekend.
After a terrific year on and off the field for the club, pride of place went to the club’s senior reserve team who won the county championship.
But there were many other awards on the night which reminded those present of the great spirit that exists within the club.
Chairman Peter McConnell welcomed all to the evening.
In his address, Peter said that when it came to help, there was no greater community than the people of Glenswilly to offer their services.
A special picture presentation was made to the Glackin family whose father, and club stalwart, Finbar Glackin, passed away during the year.
It was a poignant reminder of the great people who have helped to put the foundations in place as the club goes forward with a purpose of strength.
Thanks was also paid to the Station House Hotel who put on a fine meal and to The Cufflinks who had the young (and the not so young!) dancing away until the small hours.

Senior player of the Year: Darren McGinley
