Round Up | Ballyseedy Volunteer Recognition Programme

The Ballyseedy Home & Garden Volunteer Recognition Programme was launched earlier this season to reward people working hard behind the scenes within clubs and schools throughout the province.  The programme acknowledged the efforts of volunteers who have devoted countless hours to providing a safe and enjoyable environment for all involved with club / school rugby throughout the season.  Six individuals were recognised from across the province with each volunteer rewarded with a 'Volunteer of the Month' award, Ballyseedy Home & Garden hamper, gift voucher and a hospitality package for two including tickets to a Munster home game.  Each of the volunteers have a unique rugby story to tell, let's take a look back at the monthly winners from the recognition programme.
