“The Dan McAreavey Memorial Trophy was awarded for the great work the Strabane SDLP branch has done to revitalise the SDLP in West Tyrone. In just over a year the Strabane Branch has increased its member base to over 70, organised an 11 person committee, set-up a youth group, carried out a survey of the entire district and have been helping constituents with their problems.”

Constituency Representative Daniel McCrossan who collected the trophy on behalf of the Strabane Branch said “I was extremely proud to accept the award on behalf of everyone involved with the Strabane Branch. It is great to see all the hard work put in being recognised by party headquarters.”

“There have been many branches, including the Strabane Branch, who have been trying to win the Dan McAreavy Trophy for many years without success. Now the Strabane Branch can proudly display the Dan McAreavy in our office at Butcher Street. I would again like to thank everyone involved with the Strabane Branch, without whom none of this would have been possible.”
