Seán ‘The Castle’ O'Donoghue was an easy winner of the recent Tim O'Shea Perpetual Cup for seniors played at Mahony’s Point, Killarney.

The 90-year-old defied his age by shooting a fine score of 49 points. A native of Mill Road, Seán took up golf at the age of 30 and joined Strandhill Golf Club in County Sligo. He worked in Sligo for a number of years for the Department of Finance.

Reaching a handicap of seven and later becoming the captain of the Strandhill, the talented player always retained his membership with Killarney Golf and Fishing Club and has happy memories of playing in fourballs with the late Jim Leacy and Patie O'Connor. Tim Brosnan made up the quartet.

TIM O’SHEA CUP RESULTS: 1st Seán O'Donoghue (40) 49 pts, 2nd Enda Curtayne (23) 44 pts, 3rd Michael Healy (26) 41 pts, 4th Tom O' Sullivan (21) 41 pts, 5th Tom Finn (12) 40 pts.

Killarney teenager Luke Doolan has signed for Kerry FC, making the move from local side Killarney Athletic.

The 17-year-old forward was a standout performer in the Kerry District League last season and caught the eye with five goals in the Munster Youths Cup.
He also featured for Athletic’s senior team and earned a call-up to the Republic of Ireland Under-18 squad, where he impressed in international friendlies.
Doolan will now train with the Kerry FC first team and play with the club’s Under 20 Academy side. His signing is another boost for the club’s commitment to developing local talent.
Speaking after the move, Luke said: “I’m delighted to have this chance with Kerry FC and I’m looking forward to working with the team. I’m grateful to Colin Healy for the opportunity and I’m excited to play in front of the Kerry supporters.”
First-team manager Colin Healy added: “Luke has trained with us for the last number of weeks and has really impressed. He’s shown a great attitude and hunger to learn. He’s a talented young player and this is the next step for him.”
Kerry FC CEO Billy Dennehy said: “Luke’s journey is similar to many young players who previously had no League of Ireland pathway in Kerry. His progress is a credit to Killarney Athletic and his coaches. We look forward to helping him develop further at the club.”
