CLUB SOCIAL
A bumper crowd attended our Club social last Friday night in the Killarney Heights Hotel. The hospitality and food served was of the highest quality and we would like to thank the management and staff for a superb night. The Awards got underway with the presentation of the Jackie Lyne Cup to Senior B Player of the Year Colm O Cuiv. Daire Murphy was rewarded for his breakout year with the Senior B Young Player of the year. One of the most prestigious awards is the Senior Men's Player of the Year and Jonathan Lyne was a most deserving recipient of the John O Grady Cup. Conor Gammell picked up the Jim Trant Award for Young Player of the Year for a fine 2024 .Onto the Ladies awards and Amy Walshe was honoured with the Young Player of the Year with Keri Ann Hanrahans power packed displays earning her the Larry Horgan Cup for Senior Player of the Year. Of course not all the action is on the pitch and John Foran was a most deserving winner of the Clubperson of the Year. Mike Murphy gave a heartfelt and wonderful speech as he spoke of the humbling honour of being inducted into the Clubs Hall of Fame. After listening to Mike's speech everyone was in no doubt what the club meant to the affable Rock Road man. The East Kerry Superleague champions were honoured following their success over Glenflesk last March while the Senior Ladies team received their medals for an honour laden year . The night did not end there as Truly Diverse delved into their catalogue of music to get the night really rocking while DJ Jack Enright spun the discs into the wee hours. All in all a great night and tributes must be paid to Brita Hegarty and her team who ensured the night ran as smooth as possible, aided no doubt by MC Paddy Osbornes string pulling.
