BUCCANEERS AWARDS NIGHT ON MAY 14th
BUCCANEERS PLAYERS OF THE YEAR AWARDS NIGHT takes place on Saturday week May 14th. No venue in Athlone was available for the chosen date so this event will be held in the Shearwater Hotel, Ballinasloe. Four Player of the Year Awards are up for grabs as well as the accolade of Buccaneers Club Person of the year with the winners being announced on the night. Club players who represented Ireland will also be honoured at the event.

There will dancing after the awards presentations which will follow a 4-course dinner. Tickets cost only €40 each and can be purchased by contacting our Administrator Geraldine at 0861732711.
