Aviva FAI Club of the Year
The
club is delighted to have been one of only eight clubs to be nominated for the Aviva FAI
Club of the year and has received a cheque for â¬1,500 for being nominated. The
winning club will be announced later this month at the FAI AGM on 25th July.
This
yearâs award has been changed to reflect Irelandâs finest clubs across the
season in four different categories of excellence; Coach Education, Work in the
Community, Underage Participation, and Club Development & Facilities
Mervue United have been nominated for Facilities and Development along with Dublin side Home Farm, while the
two nominees in Coach Education are Drogheda Boys FC and Kilnamanagh AFC and Trim Celtic and Inter Kenmare are shortlisted for Participation. The final two
nominees are Geraldines FC and Manor Rangers in the Community category.
The
eight clubs were at the Club of the Year Nominees Lunch in the Carlton Hotel in
Dublin to receive their awards and a cheque for â¬1,500 for their club as reward
for their nomination. They will now go forward for the Aviva FAI Club of the
Year award which will be decided on 25th July as part of the FAI AGM weekend.
Each
of the eight clubs will then have the opportunity to present directly to the
judging panel, which is headed by Donal Conway, Chairman of the FAI Underage
Committee and includes representatives from FAI club Development, Carlton
Hotels, Dublin City Council and Aviva. The winning club will then be named
Aviva Club of the Year for 2014 and receive a cheque for â¬5,000.
