International success for Áine Murphy Academy dancers
Milltown’s Marcus O’Sullivan and Rathmore’s Isabelle O’Sullivan, both dancers with the Áine Murphy Academy of Irish Dancing, have continued to shine in Irish dancing competitions across Ireland and the UK.
Marcus, already a World Champion, celebrated his victory earlier this year with family and friends over the summer.
He hasn’t slowed down since, as the 11-year-old dancer successfully defended his titles at the Irish National Championships, the All-Scotland Championship, and most recently, the Great Britain Championship, which he won last weekend.
Isabelle is also making waves, having recently qualified for her first World Championship. In September, she secured a fifth-place finish at the Irish Nationals, held at the INEC, and followed that up with a third-place result in the Under-10 girls competition at the All-Scotland Championships.
Both dancers are now back in training as they prepare for the Munster Championships in November.
Their sights are also set on the prestigious World Championships, which will be held in Dublin next Easter.

The annual Dr Crokes GAA Club Golf Classic proved to be another major success last weekend, drawing 64 teams to Killarney’s Mahony’s Point course over two days of competition.
The Dromhall Hotel team of John Brosnan, Mike Dwyer, Shane Kelly, and Ger O’Meara took first place. Second place went to the O’Carroll Engineering team of Anthony O’Mahony, John O’Driscoll, Derek McAllister, and Michael O’Sullivan.
Third place went to the Quills team (Vincent Casey, Colm O’Brien, Evy O’Brien, and Donie Buckley), while Diarmuid O’Carroll Electrical (Mark O’Carroll, Brian McCarthy, Ben Kelliher, and Luke O’Shea) finished fourth.
Rounding out the top positions were Fexco in fifth (Andrew McCarthy, Ivo O’Sullivan, Ross Brosnan, and Niall O’Shea), Money Maximising Advisors in sixth (John Lenihan, Michael Lenihan, Des McCarthy, and Peter Bellew), and The Gleneagle Hotel in seventh (Patrick O’Donoghue, Mike McAuliffe, Margaret Gill, and T Buckley).
Raffle prize winners on the night were David Cotter (1st), Eugene Browne (2nd), Donal Brosnan (3rd), and Colm Murphy (4th).
The prize presentation took place at Charlie Foley’s Bar on Friday night, with sponsor Colm Foley handing over the honours. Dr Crokes expressed thanks to all who entered teams, sponsored tee boxes, and donated prizes, as well as Colin Finlay and the team at Killarney Golf Club for the superb condition of the course.
