strokestown's future is bright

Congratulations to Andrew Jordan, Mark Rogers and Jack Beirne have won the prestigious National Garda Youth Award.

The Garda Youth Awards celebrate outstanding young people aged between 13 and 21 years, and recognises the good work they are doing throughout their communities.

Andrew, Mark and Jack have been recognised for making a positive contribution to the childhood cancer community and making it better for children, adolescence and young adults affected by the disease. The students restored a 1956 Ferguson 20 tractor as part of their Transition Year Enterprise Project, and raffled it off to raise money for the Childhood Cancer Foundation Ireland.

They will be presented with the award on Sunday, 14th November. Well done lads!!
