As 2025 drew to a close, we came together in style for our End of Year Ball – a night that celebrated far more than just a brilliant evening on Muddy’s dance floor. It was a chance to reflect on an exceptional year for the club.
From a haul of four All-Asian Senior Championships to plenty more silverware across the codes and the year, 2025 was an outstanding year for the club. We also welcomed new teammates, watched our Cubs and Youth flourish on the international stage, and continued to see the small ball go from strength to strength – growing in popularity and adding medals along the way.
The evening was made even more special by the presence of Graham Hartnett, Deputy Head of Mission at the Irish Embassy, who joined us to celebrate the club’s achievements. It was also a night to recognise individual excellence: Paul Carpenter was presented with his Asian Hall of Fame award, while the Bill Niko Club Person of the Year honour went to Brendan Hughes, in recognition of his endless dedication to the club both on and off the pitch.
