THE inaugural Devenish Antrim Club Allstars Gala awards night will take place at the Devenish complex on Saturday November 27 with all the votes being cast to decide the best performers in yet another memorable championship season at junior, intermediate and senior level in the county.
The top 15 hurlers and footballers, Young Players of the year, top scorer in both codes and overall Footballer and Hurler of the year will be celebrated in a special evening, hosted by BBCNI's Mark Sidebottom.
