A Kilcummin man is to be remembered next weekend through a fundraiser organised in his memory. 

FUNDRAISER: The golf classic fundraiser is in memory of the late Anthony O'Sullivan from Kilcummin.

Kilcummin GAA Club are planning a golf classic in Kenmare Golf Club on Saturday, April 30.

This year, as in previous years, the event will be sponsored by a group called Family and Friends of Anthony 'Skinner' O'Sullivan. They have grouped their resources to sponsor an event which will remember their much loved friend and brother who passed away in 2017 at the age of 33. Currently they all live in Australia and would like to keep Anthony foremost in their minds as they celebrate a big day in the club's calendar.

To that end the winners of the golf competition will receive the ‘Anthony O'Sullivan Perpetual Cup’ as well as trophies sponsored by the O'Sullivan family Ballinamanagh. The group is comprised of Anthony’s brothers Patrick and Killian, Kieran Lynch, Helena and Anthony (Anto) O'Sullivan, David Healy, Patrick Buckley, Rosco Daley, John Hogarty, Johnny O'Donovan and David Harte.

The golf classic consists of teams of three for €180 while Tee boxes can be sponsored for €80. Great prizes have been lined up for the best five teams.

“We are very grateful to the Family and Friends of Anthony O'Sullivan for their continued support of the golf classic and we are delighted with the response of local businesses in sponsoring teams, tee boxes and prizes. We are looking forward to a great club outing,” Muiris Healy, from the organising committee, said.

As well as the golf prizes there are some fantastic raffle prizes up for grabs. Anyone who wants to buy lines for the raffle can do so at the Post Office in Kilcummin, the Klub Bar or by contacting Breeda on 086 8300248. For Tee times or Tee boxes contact Muiris on 086 1614136.
