Top Table:
Wicklow GAA’s Annual Convention has came and went and it passed off without huge changes to the personnel at top table. Annacurra’s Martin Fitzgerald remains the man in the hot seat for a second year as he retained his role of County Chairman unopposed. The big change of the night came in the electing of the County PRO which is perhaps the most important role in the modern day GAA and Carnews Bridget Kenny will be the new PRO for 2019 as she succeeds outgoing PRO Kieron Kenny who did a great job in a demanding position and will be a tough act to follow. We wish all elected officers the best in their roles and hopefully we can see much needed positive change in Wicklow GAA in 2019.
NEW SPONSORS:
The other big announcement on the night was that Renault will be the new Wicklow Senior Football Sponsors for 2019 taking over from Joule who gave great support to the County during their sponsorship. We expect that you all put down the deposit on a brand new 191 Renault as a nice Christmas Prezzie for Bill Hill or if you are feeling really generous this festive season you could even buy one for a relative or loved one too!
Now for what we really came for, The Wicklow GAA Awards
