A sincere thank you to Event Sponsor Western Hygiene and all our table sponsors for their generous contributions, without whom the night would not have been possible. It was an honor to host special guests Larry McCarthy - President of the GAA, Tom Kelly – Connacht GAA, Paul Bellew – Chairperson Galway GAA, Seamus Grady – Secretary Galway GAA and Joe Brolly - GAA legend.
