'Strokestown -without question, an excellent website- everything a great GAA site should aspire to be. These boys are county champions too..'

Ciaran P. Roche, professional webmaster and developer of the Ballymun Kickhams website, winner of several website awards, left me this message:

I developed the Ballymun Kickhams website, so I know how many hours you put into the site.

 Dinner Dance 2002

Interest certainly picks up in a GAA club after a successful year, this was certainly the case last night in the Percy French, where a record crowd gathered to see the presentation of the county medals and connacht final jerseys to the senior panel, and to hear form the likes of Kieran McGeeney and Brian Carty.

Me, Damien Cassidy and Mark Fallon at last years dinner dance

'Alibi' provided the musical entertainment, playing a mixture of show band type stuff for all the 'jivers' keen to strut their stuff, and a more modern mix for all of us who have taste in music (!). 

There were presentations to Pat Doorey and the three selectors by Donal Hanly on the behalf of the players.

While the presentations were being given out, Sean Collins had a word or two to say about all the lads, leaving a few red faces on the podium.

Guests on the night included Dr. Hugh Gibbons, member of the 1933 county final winning side, and member of the roscommon team that won two All-Irelands in teh 1940's.

There was an exceptionally good set-up for the night, with a seperate room provided to accomadate increased interest, a video link-up ensuring no missed out. A nice booklet was left at every seat giving details of the plans for the night.

The Dance was a complete success, everyone enjoying themselves even the under 21's who were on strict instructions to 'take it easy'.

Photos to follow..
