Offaly volunteer honoured at camogie awards night

Offaly was well represented at the Annual Camogie Awards night on Saturday last in Croke Park.

First up were the recipients of the Volunteer Awards and the 2025’s Offaly Volunteer was Nevan Phelan, Naomh Brid, who was presented with his Award by Uachtaran of the Camogie Association Brian Molloy. Nevan received his nomination for his contribution over the years as Coach both within his club and at county level.

The Mick Dunne Memorial Awards includes an award for the best Digital Promotion which was awarded to Offaly for their promotion of the Offaly’s journey in the All-Ireland Intermediate championship. Alan Harris, the then Offaly PRO, who was the creator of the promotion was regrettably unable to attend the event and so Ronnie Byrne, Leas Runai of the Camogie Board collected the well-deserved award. Members of the Dunne family were present for the occasion

Finally, the referees who officiated at camogie All Ireland finals during 2025 were recipients of medals. Ciarán Groome was awarded his medal as referee of the eir All-Ireland u16C Championship.
