Antrim GAA Bursaries for Young Players

The Antrim Year 8 Hurling and Football presentations were held on Mon 28th June at St Louis GS Ballymena. The players who had been selected at the trials were presented with their jerseys by Paul Doherty (Antrim county footballer) and Gregory O Kane (Antrim Hurling assistant manager).

This year is the first year the bursary awards were introduced.
They were open to students from year 12 to year 14 and the criteria included sporting ability, commitment to their school and club.
The three recipients were Conor Laverty, CPC Ballycastle (St Brigid’s, Cloughmills) Matthew Donnelly, CPC (Mc Quillan’s GAC) and John Mc Goldrick, St Patrick’s College Bearnageeha (St Endas GAC)

Thanks to Mr Cassidy and St Louis GS for hosting the awards, to the players, teachers and selectors who took part and to the Antrim County Board for their sponsorship.
