RUN
Kerins O’Rahillys’ 10k/5k run and walk was held on Sunday last and was a great success again this year.
The event, now in it’s fifth year, honoured well-known clubman Francie Quill. Francie’s contribution was truly recognised by the big turnout which exceeded 300 entrants.

AGM
Our AGM was held in The Healy Room last Friday. Thank you to everyone who attended. Our players, coaches, parents and supporters were thanked for all their effort, hard work and support throughout 2018.
Edmond and Maurice were thanked – without their help and cooperation there would have been no pitches for us. Best of luck to Edmond in his new ventures. James, Christena and Frank were also thanked for always being there to guide us.
Finally, we have to thank our girls who are hardworking, committed, talented, tenacious, good humoured and most importantly have made friends for life in our club. Being involved in sport at this time in their lives is vital and sets the tone for the many challenges in life. Best of luck for 2019.
