As the gates close around Celtic Park and the bus, trains and planes depart from Derry, Feile 2010 draws to a close. Everyone in the New York board is very grateful to the Derry County board, Feile Committee Limavady and Dungiven clubs for hosting the teams and ensuring everyone parents, players, supporters had a wonderful time in Derry. To the host families for taking such great care of the players and to the club personnel for helping feed , train , coach , transport, clean up after our teams another word of thanks. For the host venue clubs Kevin Lynches , Castledawson , Lavey a big thank you. To all teams participating in the competition and in particular to the two teams who beat our girls and boys and who both went onto win the competition congratulations and well done. The event has left everyone involved with memories they will never forget and to the organisers of the event we would just like to express our thanks.
Speaking after the final whistle of the girls game Joe Mc Girl a member of the ladies board expressed his own views on the running of the event. " I thought that the host families were tremendous, along with the local clubs . The independence they allowed our teams was fabulous every one had a fantastic time. It was a great opportunity to play in a premier facility like Celtic Park. It was an amazing opportunity and we are delighted we got to meet the president of the GAA amongst others. We are already looking forward to Cork next year we hope to get even more new families involved in the Feile experience to give them the experience of the community building effect the GAA has. It has given our players a whole new reason to play Gaelic Football and is a great way to promote the game in America. We now look forward to playing against each other in the CYC and we hope that event runs as well as the Derry Feile 2010."
