Phil O’Sullivan charity match a success

Published

on

A pre-season friendly match between Kerry FC and Killarney Celtic at Celtic Park on Friday night proved to be a resounding success, raising a significant sum for the family of the late Philip O’Sullivan.

The match was attended by a large crowd, as Kerry FC faced off against their Killarney rivals in a friendly encounter.
While the match itself provided entertaining football, with Killarney Celtic ultimately emerging victorious, the primary focus of the event was to raise funds for the O’Sullivan family.

O’Sullivan, a former coach with Killarney Celtic, passed away suddenly just before Christmas. He was highly respected within the community.
The proceeds from the match will be donated in full to his family in a show of support and solidarity.
“It was a fantastic occasion which was well supported by Celtic and Kerry supporters,” said Kerry FC’s Ivan Hurley.
“The total amount raised is still to be confirmed, but the night raised a four-figure sum which will be donated in full to the O’Sullivan family. Kerry FC would like to give a heartfelt thanks to everyone in Killarney Celtic for being fantastic hosts and the League of Ireland side look forward to returning to the East of the county again in the not so distant future.”
