The usual gathering of celebrated goalkickers from within the Club assembled in the rain of Druid Park on Tuesday! From the serious to the seriously lamentable participants, our eventual winner was Rian Hoey, who held off some tough competition on the night. As can be seen from the pics below, it was a stern test of character as well as ability. The Cup has been held for over 55 years and I can honestly state that Chris Morris’ miserable effort from 30 metres out was probably one of the worst seen in all those years! There were the usual dark horses, of course, namely Tom Kelbrick and coach, Adam Falkner, who’s last match winning attempt from 50 metres rebounded from the crossbar, leaving Rian to attempt a celebratory halfway conversion. Club President, Ken Johnston, did the honours in presenting Rian with the Cup.
