Croke Park was the setting for a special celebration on Saturday evening as the 2025 Leinster GAA Beko Club Champion awards were presented during the Leinster Club Finals.

Among the winners was Lorraine Cody of Annanough GAA, who was named the Laois Beko Club Champion. Lorraine, a dedicated clubwoman, received the award from Shane O’Connor, Marketing Manager at Beko Ireland, in front of her proud family, James, Niall, and Adam. The accolade recognises local GAA heroes who go above and beyond to support their clubs and communities, highlighting the often unheralded volunteer work that keeps clubs thriving.

As part of the award, Annanough GAA will also receive €1,000 worth of GAA equipment courtesy of Beko, a recognition of the vital role volunteers like Lorraine play in strengthening club life.
