Colreavys's Named Club Person of the Year
- Mar 01,2013
The 4th annual TESCO Homegrown Club Person of the Awards presentation took place yesterday at Croke Park. Each year the TESCO Homegrown Club Person of the Year Awards shine a spotlight on the tireless work of stand-out volunteers from within the Ladies Gaelic Football club scene.
A total of five awards were handed out at the luncheon event in Croke Park with winners announced for each of the four provinces and an overall Club Person of the Year recipient unveiled. The 2012 Club Person of the Year award went to the husband and wife team of Micheal and Kathleen Colreavy of Dublin's Naomh Mearnóg. This is the first time that the award has been shared.
Leinster & All Ireland Club Person of the Year - Michael & Kathleen Colreavy (Naomh Mearnog, DUBLIN)
The Leinster and overall winners, Michael and Kathleen Colreavy are both extremely dedicated and active members of the Portmarnock based club and have been heavily involved in the day to day running of the club for almost 20 years. Michael has been involved as a coach right through the grades from the club's academy right through to the senior ladies team.
Kathleen Colreavy works behind the scenes as the assistant secretary but also as liaison officer with visiting teams including county teams. Her production of the legendary Tupperware box from the boot of her car is one of the most anticipated parts of an evening at the club where she ensures that nobody goes hungry or thirsty and that they have access to all the facilities they need.
Everybody involved in Dublin LGFA would like to congratulate Michael and Kathleen on their award which is a true recognition of the work, commitment and dedication that the Portmarnock duo has given both to Naomh Mearnog and indeed Dublin.
