MANY congratulations to Aisling McGreal, Rebecca Yorke, Edel Whyte and Rebecca Lyons who, last Friday night, were announced as the overall Longford Sports Star of the Year.

The quartet were at the prize-giving night as winners of the monthly award for August (sponsored by Ulster Bank) and, in landing the overall title, beat opposition from the worlds of Gaelic football (men’s and women’s), hurling, swimming, athletics, clay pigeon shooting and karate.
