Last Saturday night, the great 2011 club odyssey continued when our footballers and
hurlers were awarded Team of the Year at the fifth Annual Tim Buckley Financial Sports
Awards at Maritime Hotel Bantry.
Earlier, Don Desmond of the 1971 Junior A Hurlers,
Robert Wilmot of the 1975 Junior A Footballers and Donnacha Burke of the 1999 Junior
A Hurlers were honoured for their roles as club captains of county winning sides.
This was a very good night’s entertainment and reminder of our own big night out on this
Friday night in the Munster Arms Hotel after 08.00 p.m.
A very large crowd gathered at the GAA Pavilion last Friday night for the 2011 AGM
of St Brogans Underage GAA Club.
Chairman Colman O'Mahony welcomed the
large crowd and reminded all present of the many high points in the last year and
outlined some ambitious plans for the year ahead such as a family table quiz, barbecue
and registration day.
He thanked Phil Murphy, club secretary, Pat Ahern for his
enormous help, Anthony Nyhan for the continued success of the VHI Cul Camp, Robert
O'Mahony for his priceless advice and all the club coaches/selectors for the last year.
PRO Geraldine O'Farrell and Treasurer Kathleen Calnan gave excellent reports.
Phil Murphy outlined the changes resulting from the formation of the Rebel Og structures
and he paid particular tribute to all of the local families that hosted children from St
Vincent’s Club of Co Offaly to ensure the success of Feile 2011.
Lively debates ensued and it was very pleasing that a strong executive committee was formed and that an adequate number of mentors were appointed to all underage teams in 2012.

On the last Friday of last year a very large crowd gathered in the club pavilion for the 2011 AGM
of the Bandon GAA club.
Cathaoirleach Denis Lucey opened proceedings with a well thought out
speech whereupon he thanked everybody associated with the club in this last very successful year
and Denis also praised all associated with the successful under-age Ladies Football Club.
Runai Don Desmond presented a very detailed account of the year’s activities where the club achieved a great
degree of success, the highlight being our victory in the Intermediate Hurling Championship.
The Junior A Footballers had a very good year, winning the League and Championship double in the
South-West division, only to lose narrowly in the County Semi-Final and a total of 115 games were
played.
Don also poignantly remembered the following members of the club that passed away to
their eternal rewards in past year: John Joe Crowley, Con Crowley, Mossie Collins, Fin Collins, Finbarr
O’Neill, Josie Mc Carthy, Judge Con Murphy and Rev Fr. John O’Callaghan.
In the absence of the
outstanding outgoing Cisteoir, Charles Lucey the years financial accounts were presented by Colman
O’Mahony.
Kathleen Canty gave the Pavilion Report and Joe McCarthy gave a thought provoking
speech on the pavilion bar.
Officers, selectors and delegates to the County and South West Boards
were elected.
Finally, Club President Liam Deasy gave an inspirational speech and he reminded
everyone to re-double their efforts in 2012 so as to ensure that it will be another successful one for
the club.
Upcoming events: The Club’s Dinner Dance takes place on Friday 3rd February in the Munster
Arms Hotel. Tickets will be available from Joe McCarthy, Donough Lucey, James O’Donovan, David
Lehane, Eoghan O’Donovan, Noel Mc Namara and Colman O’Mahony.
Anyone interested in attending the 5th Annual Buckley Financial Gala Awards at the Maritime Hotel,
Bantry, on Saturday 28th January, please contact Stephen Murphy and/or Don Desmond.
Special thanks to Niall Morrissey and colleagues for ensuring the great success of the nights dancing
to the Dreamers and Patrick O’Sullivan on last Friday 6th January 2012.
Last Saturday, an under-strength U-21 Football Team went down 1-8 to 0-18 against St Finbarr’s at
the Ballincollig Invitational Lena Down Memorial Cup Tournament and we wish this group/mentors
better luck at 01.00 p.m. on Sunday 15th January when they play the host club in Ballincollig.
