Longford County Council Cathaoirleach Colm Murray who was also in attendance, congratulated Mr Fox and the Longford Committee for securing the National Indoor Soccer Finals.
Cllr Murray also congratulated area committees for their hard work in facilitating events for children in their areas and wished them every success for 2024.
Speaking of the backing the organisation received, Mr Fox is grateful to all who have helped them over the years and thanked North Midlands Credit Union and Longford County Council for their support.

We are a volunteer organisation, with great volunteers, holding the National Finals will be a huge boost to our local economy with high numbers expected to visit the County over that weekend.”
