Kilcummin and Kerry GAA star seriously injured in crash
By Sean Moriarty
Kilcummin GAA Club has wished their star player Sean O'Leary a speedy recovery after he was seriously injured in a road traffic accident on Saturday night.
O’Leary, who is a member of the extended Kerry Senior Football team panel, was involved in a two-car collision near Abbeyfeale, County Limerick as he made his way home from the Kerry v Tipperary game that was played in Thurles earlier that evening.
The former All-Ireland minor winner was a passenger in one of the cars involved in the collision which happened shortly after 11.30pm on Saturday night.
The University of Limerick student was a member of Kilcummin’s All-Ireland Intermediate championship winning side in 2019.
He suffered multiple serious fractures in the incident. He, and two other males and one female, were taken to various hospitals in Tralee, Cork and Limerick and the road remained closed until Sunday afternoon as Garda forensic officers examined the scene.
“He is an outstanding footballer,” club PRO Michael O’Riordan told the Killarney Advertiser. “But football aside, he is an extremely popular young man in the community and the younger people look up to him. We wish Sean and everyone else involved a speedy recovery and look forward to seeing him back [playing football] soon.”
Other successes for O’Leary included winning two Hogan Cups with St Brendan's College in 2016 and 2017.
He also made the Killarney Advertiser Team of the Year in 2018 and 2019 and was named our Young Footballer of the Year in 2018.
