Congratulations to Clonduff GAA Club, the Official Down GAA winner of the Translink/Ulster GAA Community Support Award for their efforts during the lockdowns occasioned by the pandemic.
The club set up a Community Volunteer Database, covering a cross-section of the community and not solely confined to club members, ran the #Clonduff Connected# Campaign, Coaches availed of Social Media to keep the young players up to speed with their skills, ran a virtual Cultural Season and a cross-community ‘Twelve Days of Christmas’, organised fundraising schemes for local charities, to mention but a few activities. Many thanks to the wonderful community volunteers without whom this award would not have happened.
