IT was a double celebration in my ways as the first winner of the Drogheda and District Chamber/Flogas Ireland ‘Sporting Heroes’ award was announced as Louth GAA senior team captain, Sam Mulroy.
The recently launched awards will recognise sporting people across all grades and sectors from the locality and first up was the man who helped guide the Wee County to the Leinster title for the first time in 68 years.
Sam is also the lead in Sam Mulroy Fitness, one of our esteemed Chamber members.
David Allen from sponsors, Flogas Ireland, was on hand to present the award to the superstar of Louth GAA.
“What a year it was for Louth GAA and for Sam in particular. Winning Leinster was a huge achievement, and it will inspire continued growth in GAA in the area. With Louth GAA joining the Chamber in recent weeks and a new ground underway, the future is bright when it comes to all aspects of Gaelic Games locally,” Chamber CEO, Hubert Murphy, stated.
