Eddie is nothing if not thorough and organising
various ventures, he had put the juvenile club despite
its heavy expenditure in a very sound financial
position, which matches its new standing on the field of
play.
Eddie Forde was chosen for the "Outstanding Service"
Award which was presented at the Carlow GAA Awards night
on Saturday, 16 January, 2010.
