04.1122
QUIGLEY’s Point Swifts FC
turned 50 during the first lock-down. The big
anniversary was only recently celebrated, on Friday 28th
of October, with a long-anticipated dinner dance in the
Point Inn. Senior and junior teams were presented with
trophies from their success on the pitch.
Members, both young and old, of the football club came
together after putting it all on hold for two years due
to the Covid Pandemic. Everyone was very excited to be
there, especially the children who have become great
friends over the years. |

and to thank the many volunteers who keep the club
afloat. Quigley’s Point Swifts had a very successful
year in terms of performance on the pitch and the
players and coaches were thanked for their commitment
and determination. |

The presentation was
followed by dancing and chasing balloons around the
dance floor to music provided by Liam Atcheson and
Stephanie Pope. Sport brings people from all walks of
life together and the festivities allowed everyone to
have fun, catch up with friends and to reminisce about
the good old days. |
