The secretary Paul Rooney presented a comprehensive report on the year’s activities and the treasures report presented by Joe Hughes showed the club to be in a healthy financial state.

Down county board secretary Seamus Walsh praised the supporters club for the great work they had done all year especially with the national league programmes, the transport to away matches, and the fundraising and himself and Sean Rooney also from the county board presided over the election of officers for the new committee for 2008.
