Silver Joe McDonagh Award

16 November 2025

Achadh Dearg & Baile Úi Mheirligh were delighted to be invited to Croke Park last night to receive the Silver Joe McDonagh Award. This award recognises the tremendous efforts of our Cultural Committee in promoting the Irish language — ár dteanga dhúchais — within our club and throughout our community.
Our Cultural Officer, Pola Cairns, was honoured to collect the award on the club’s behalf — bródúil as ár gcultúr agus ár bpobal. We were also immensely proud that Official Down GAA was the most represented county in all of Ireland, with eight clubs receiving awards on the night — ionadaíocht iontach ón Dún.
Comhghairdeas mór to all involved, and a huge go raibh míle maith agaibh to everyone who supported our cultural events throughout the year.
Thank you to @glor_nangael for hosting a fantastic evening — oíche den scoth.
