He stated that while no silverware was won this year the respective achievements of each of these teams showed that the club had a bright future to look forward to. He thanked the executive committee of the club for all their hard work over the year, the sponsors who had given so generously and also all those who helped the club in any way in 2009.

U-21 Final
Hard luck to the players and management of Glenfarne/Kiltyclogher U-21’s who were defeated by Melvin Gaels in the U-21 B Championship final. Despite playing without captain and county U-21 player Fergal Clancy the team put in a magnificanet performance but eventually succumbed to the more experienced and physically stronger Gaels team. A goal with 10 minutes remaining for the Gaels turned them game in their favour. However the performance by this team in the championship shows that future is bright for the club.

Team: Francis Keaney, Paul Gilligan, Shane Ferguson, John McLoughlin, Sean McManus, John Sheerin, Diarmuid Clancy, Dermot Harkin, James Murray, Shane McLoughlin, Niall Clancy, Padraig Sweeney, Ronan McGowan. Subs: Stephen McManus, Daire Clancy.
