Bryansford GAC Notes 3/6/2013

Bryansford GAC would like to offer the Polland and O’Hare families their deepest sympathy following the passing of these two young men. Colin, a former underage player for Bryansford won Down Championship Medals at U-12 and U-14 levels and was a good friend to many club members R.I.P

Saturday night saw a packed audience enjoy the ‘Bryansford Does Strictly’ Grand Final and it lived up to its billing as everyone witnessed a top class show with Ann Murray and Marty Smith emerging as winners writes Ronan McVeigh.

On behalf of the Club Executive we sincerely thank our 24 wonderful dancers, Shane Berger for his choreography expertise, DJ McGiggs and Simon Walsh for Music, Lighting and Videos, to our army of volunteers who without their help it would have been impossible to hold such an event – they all showed a professionalism which was second to none. Thanks to Joan Burden of Shimna Valley House, our preferred charity for all her help.

It would be unfair at this stage not to mention the input of Chris Brannigan who put together a show that Bryansford has never seen before – Chris ensured everything was of the highest quality and his attention to detail perhaps sees his future in PR Entertainment!

Well done to Down Seniors and Minors on both winning in their Ulster Championship fixtures at Celtic Park on Sunday – a large Bryansford involvement in both teams and we look forward to their Semi finals on 23 June.

Well done to U-12 player Curtis Lowey on participating in the half-time games at Celtic Park on Sunday.

Senior Football league fixture on Wednesday 5 June away to Saval at 7.30pm.

Well done to Benjy Ward on winning the Irish Daily Star Manager of the Month for May after Down ladies success in the NFL – also to Clara Fitzpatrick and Emma Joyce on getting selected for the NFL League team of the year.
