An International Evening in Johnstown

As many of you who follow our website and social media channels will have heard we often celebrate our three International Players success on the pitch.  This of course got us thinking how lucky we are a s a Club are to have such an accolade to celebrate.  So Wednesday week the Friends, Family and some of us from the club gathered in the MDL to celebrate with Amanda, Dylan and James their success.

The event was well supported with The Meath Chronicle, Councillor Tommy Reilly ad FAI Development Officer Mark Scanlon in attendance.  To start of our Chairman Mr Paddy Allen presented each of our three stars a Trophy of congratulations from the club, then a few speeches from Shane, Mark and Tommy.  It was noted by all, how as such a young club celebrating their tenth anniversary this year, what an achievement it is  to have three players who are International Caps and are still all involved in the club.

We look forward to seeing Amanda, Dylan and James develop their game further and wish them ever success in 2015.  The Meath Chronicle have this week published a full page article about the event.
