Five Star Hurlers

A very special mention to our 'Famous Six' of Brian Farrelly, J.P Ryan, Brian Calvey, Thomas Reilly, Daithi Finnegan and Neil O'Flaherty who, while representing the club in both codes of our games, picked up four
county medals each. The lads were part of the Junior C Football Championship, the Junior Hurling Championship, the Division 3 Football 'B' league and Division 3 Hurling league  winning teams of 2014 as well as semi-finalist of the Leinster junior special hurling championship . It is a fantastic achievement by the lads and all those involved with the teams to be winning at both football and hurling. it is a feat that will be hard matched but the gauntlet has been thrown down for future teams to match, and hopefully better, and with the numbers of juveniles now representing the club there is no reason why this can't be done. But for now we celebrate the lads in their achievement.
