Termon woman named as LGFA Young Volunteer of the Year Award

A Termon woman has been named as one of the 2021 LGFA Volunteer of the Year Award winners.

Chloe has been confirmed as the Young Volunteer of the Year.

The scheme is now in its fifth year and the award winners, including Chloe, will be acknowledged at a special awards function at Croke Park on Friday evening.

Chloe is a student at Loreto, Milford and in 2021 produced a yearbook for the Burn Road Club.

In spite of being in her Leaving Certificate year at school, not to mention her own training, coaching and, as if that all weren’t enough, assuming the role of the club photographer, Chloe produced an excellent publication that was launched in December.

The yearbook contains each team's progress, and photos as well as all the events that took place at the club in 2021.

With over 90 pages, Chloe collected and arranged the book together with each coaches’ report for the year.

Paying tribute to the winners, Ladies Gaelic Football Association President, Mícheál Naughton, commented: “We’re delighted once again to announce and honour the winners of our LGFA Volunteer of the Year awards, in association with currentaccount.ie.

“Having held our 2020 awards in a virtual setting, it’s wonderful to be in a position where we can welcome our winners, guests and representatives from currentaccount.ie to Croke Park.

“This is an evening that has become one of the most enjoyable on our annual calendar, and we’re looking forward to seeing everybody on the night.

“During incredibly challenging times, our winners have provided magnificent and selfless service to the LGFA, in various roles. 

“We received huge numbers of nominations in each category, and settling on a list of winners was not an easy task, I can assure you. I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the work of each and every nominee, whose details we received.

“Without the work of our volunteers, our Association could not function as it does. Our winners and nominees, are a credit to themselves, their families, clubs, counties, provinces and international units. We thank them most sincerely.”
