Celebratory Dinner Dance 2025

Last Saturday night in The Greville Arms we celebrated our senior team’s success in winning The Flanagan Cup and the U20’s success in the Division 2 Championship 2025 with a medal presentation and dinner dance. What a wonderful night of celebration it was. MC Paddy Doherty did a wonderful job in keeping everything moving swiftly and professionally. We had a fabulous address from Chairman Aiden McGuire and the newly appointed Westmeath Chairman Paddy Wallace. We were delighted to have Paddy and his wife in attendance in his first official event as Westmeath Chairman. Many thanks to Paddy for his presence and words of wisdom. Manager Dermot Power and joint captain Luke Loughlin also addressed the crowd eloquently and presentations were made to both senior and U20 management teams. Fantastic music was provided by Camillus Egerton and Heads Up with DJ Jude McGuiness afterwards. We would like to thank The Greville Arms management and staff for their professionalism and catering every need on the night. Congratulations to the organising committee on producing a memorable event for all involved.
