Watty Graham s GAC, Glen, based in Maghera, have collected the Translink Ulster GAA Community Support Award in recognition of their work throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.
The award was created to showcase the outstanding contribution of GAA clubs in their communities throughout the last, challenging 15 months. As club gates across the province were closed in March last year and all GAA activity was suspended, clubs and their members remained hugely active in alternative ways by providing much needed support for local people

Members of a County Derry GAA club have been stepping up to support people in the local community.
Due to Covid restrictions, the annual Watty Graham’s Christmas Toy appeal was unable to proceed this year.
Instead a cash only appeal was launched and as usual the Glen community was not found wanting.
The club members raised a total of £1,000 which will help support those less advantaged in the local community this Christmas.
