John outlined the busy year 2010 had been for the club; practically every month some event took place, some of the highlights of which were the official opening of the pitch in May and the Crumlin Charity game in August. John congratulated and wished continued success to Pauric Casey, currently training with the Kildare Junior team, adding that he hoped to see Pauric wearing the Lily White of Kildare in the not too distant future.
