The judges attended many club meetings from mental health talks to exchange nights throughout the whole county. They commended Co Londonderry clubs on their enthusiastic members and excellently run clubs and informed members of their delight in the difficulty of judging the competition and what a great problem it was to have. They encouraged clubs to continue the good work and wished all members a successful 2016/17 programme.
