 Jimmy Doherty was this years Hall of Fame winner and boy what a deserving man. This page is too short to outline Jimmy's contribution both on the sideline as Bainisteoir and off it in developing the facilities on view today. Jimmy gave the Club his all taking us to Division one, Intermediate Champions, Senior Championship football and acted as Chairman and Club Uachtarán. A humble man who has achieved much in his life and it was great to see Jimmy on the stage last night receiving this great Honour. Although he has returned to the quieter game of golf "far from the madding crowd"...Jimmy is still around us in the oft heated GAA scene . Comhghairdeachas leat a Jimmy, tá sé tuillte go maith agat.
 The 2012 Underage presentation night will take place in Aislann Rann na Feirste on this Friday night 21st.
U-14's, U-16's and Minors are asked to be in the Aislann at 6.45pm and U-8's, U-10's and U-12's are to come along at 7.45pm (please note these are the correct times). Michelle Nic Grianna will compere the evening and Donegal All-Ireland winning players will be in attendance with a short Questions and Answers session. 2012 was an outstanding year at underage level with the highest numbers of young children turning up since the club was founded in 1980. The committment of the coaches was another factor and Naomh Muire have certainly continued their growth at under-age level. Friday night is a time to celebrate the year so everyone is more than welcome to come along. Photos from the Ladies Presentation Night thanks to Bríd Nic Suibhne.                                                                          Under age presentations took place on Friday 7th December in the Clubhouse. Certificates were presented to U-12 and U-13 girls who played in the U-12 blitzs and U-13 league and to the girls who took part in the U-12 and U-13 Donegal Development Camps.

Gary Boyle Youth Officer outlined the year that was and all the great attitude which is part of the under-age set up. He thanked the coaches and parents for all the help and support. Gary spoke about how hard work now was the most important factor in our youth and that work was showing at levels. Marty Boyle, the Donegal defender spoke about his admiration for Naomh Muire hearing great reports from those who are involved at underage levels. Marty spoke about how he didn't feature on the Naomh Conaill Senior side when he was 22 and only broke through after hard work before getting a break this year at 27 years old with Donegal, playing against Dublin in the All-Ireland semi this year. The awards were presented by Marty and our Club player Adi O Gara. Photos from the evening are available in the awards section under the Home menu. Click the link below to go directly there...
