Ulster GAA Writers’ Association
Quinn Group
Our Secretary, Matt, received the following response from Lenny Harbinson after the Presentation of the UGAAWriters/Quinn-Insurance March Monthly Award:
Matt,
On behalf of St Gall's Senior Football Panel and Management I would like to
say
thank you to the Ulster GAA Writers' Association for the award tonight.
Like many
of your members I remember the time that the print media was the
only means of how
GAA games across Ulster were actually promoted. From the
depths of winter to the hard
pitches of summer the passionate reporting of
games helped to drive people like me
into our local "Field of Dreams" to
play Gaelic Games unaware as to where that journey
would take many of us....
Today, although the electronic media has taken Gaelic Games
in another
direction, we all still look out for the Irish News on a Monday, the Tele
on
a Tues night, the various regional papers such as the Down Recorder in
mid-week
and recently Gaelic Life on a Friday to provide us all with match
reports, comments,
player ratings etc.
As once stated....the "pen is mightier than the sword" (or maybe
that should
be the TV!) so continue with your excellent work.
Regards,
Lenny
Thank you Lenny for expressing those thoughts.
