The annual Ulster GAA President’s Awards in association with O’Neills took place in the Tullyglass Hotel, Ballymena on Thursday 29th November with 250 people in attendance.

This awards ceremony recognises the Players, Administrators, Coaches, Officials, Referees, and Team Managements for the significant contribution they make to the GAA. Our volunteers are the lifeblood of the GAA and are the very heartbeat of our communities. All the award winners represent the many more who also carry on this valuable work across the nine Ulster counties.
