Saturday 17th February saw the No Name Club Regional Youth awards take place in Hollywood, Co. Wicklow and Claremorris, Co. Mayo. Both days were action packed with lots of excitement in the air. Our Western clubs were well represented on the day and our judges had a tough decision trying to whittle down the participants. It was the same story in the East, with two sets of judges working hard to choose our finalists. We had 21 club members in total between both events and after a morning of interviews , lots of preparation and some nerves, everyone was done by lunch time and able to go home and wait for the call to come in.

We were delighted to hear that the judges have chosen 9 club members who will be participating in our National Youth Awards on April 27th in Newpark Hotel in Kilkenny. What a great day for all. Commiserations to those who didn't make it through to Nationals, but we can't wait to see you with your club on the night to support your fellow No Namers! Thank you to all the family members and adult leaders who assisted your club members to attend, we couldn't do it without you! Congratulations to all our finalists who are listed below. Let the preparations begin, See you in April!
