BON VOYAGE VICKY : Congratulations and best wishes to Vicky Fisher who is heading to the USA on a Soccer Scholarship at Darton College in Atlanta, Georgia, for the next four years.  Vicky started playing for Castleknock Celtic U-10s team ten years ago, with Derek McGivern (the current AUL team manager) as her manager. Vicky acknowledges the help he has been to her, always keeping great faith in her, encouraging her all the time. Vicky is now playing for Bohs Ladies team, but she leaves for Atlanta shortly. All Vicky's friends at Celtic wish her bon voyage and look forward to her helping our young players to develop when she returns.
