The biggest cheer of the night was reserved for the presentation of a cheque for €5000 to The O’Neill Centre. Director of Services at the Centre Paula Rutkins accepted this cheque and thanked Floodlit League organisers Eamon Cleere and Gerry O’Keefe, as well as all participants for their generous donation.
Trophies on the night were presented by League sponsor John Dalton of Daltons Chancellor Mills. John had played in the Floodlit League in previous years and said that he was delighted to be associated with such a well run League that has many benefits.
