Killarney Legion Award The Best And Brightest

Published

on

Killarney Legion's annual awards night took place in Killarney Plaza Hotel last Sunday 18th March and has become a most pleasant event where the club recognises those that have served above and beyond.

This year the Legion honoured Seanie Culloty as club person of the year and indeed his contribution from his playing days to his leadership of the Saturday morning academy has been a vital part of the growth and development of the juvenile section.

Young player of the year went to Cian Gammell who had such a brilliant year and took winners medals with the Sem and a stellar showing with the All Ireland winning Kerry minors.

Junior player of the year went to the tireless Aidan Slattery while senior player went to Shaun Keane who has been without doubt one of Killarney Legion's most consistent and dedicated performers.

The ladies were represented on the night by Kiah Doona  who has been an outstanding player right from her early juvenile days.

A special award went to the St.Patricks Day group who have been innovative,entertaining and so hard working for the past number of years.

Winners medals were also presented to the senior Ladies and the senior men who went up to Division 1 as unbeaten champions.

Lifelong member of the Legion Club Joanne O'Riordan was in attendance and once again let up the room! All in all, a great night was had by all!

A local cafe in Killarney is hosting an event to celebrate cherished sporting memories in Killarney.

The event is taking place in Clann Housing, Coill na Darrach on June 28 and it is part of the wider Alzheimer Society of Irelands sporting memories initiative.

There will be stories, photographs, and memorabilia shared on the day.

The Alzheimer Society of Ireland is organising a sporting memories initiative which aims to harness the power of sport to spark memories and create connections with people living with dementia.

John Don O’Donoghue, who is a joint organiser of the event, is emphasising the importance of events like these for those who suffer with dementia.

He said: “They offer people, especially older adults and those living with dementia, a meaningful way to reconnect – not just with their memories, but with each other. We’ve seen first-hand how powerful it can be when someone’s face lights up remembering a match, a goal, or a moment they thought was long forgotten.”

All members of the community are welcome to attend and take part. The event is free and guests are encouraged to bring their own photos, memorabilia and stories to share.

For more information, please contact: Triona Heffernan or John Don O’ Donoghue Email: soccermemoriescafe@gmail.com
