Dunville’s Irish Whiskey Player of the Season
It was the club’s annual “Awards Night” at New Grosvenor on Saturday evening.
And huge congratulations go to team captain Mark McKee on winning the highly respected Dunville’s Irish Whiskey Player of the Season award.
He had a tremendous season on the pitch, winning four monthly awards over the season and is pictured receiving his award along with a coveted bottle of Dunville’s 1808 Blended Irish Whiskey from Jan Tholin of the Lisburn Distillery Scandinavian Supporters Club (our special guests at the club once again on their annual visit).
These awards, now in their ninth season, simply wouldn’t happen without the generous support and backing of the multi-award winning Echlinville Distillery, proud custodians of the iconic Dunville’s brand. Dunville’s Royal Irish Distillery is of course where our club was founded way back in 1880.
So as always, a huge and genuine, THANK YOU to owner Shane Braniff and his team at Echlinville who have supported us and followed us once again over the season.
The Kircubbin-based distillery continues to go from strength to strength in terms of awards, brands and products. You can find out about the entire award-winning product range here
With the better weather and longer days, it’s a great time to visit the distillery and you can find more information here about opening times and booking tours etc.
