KERRY’S Darran O’Sullivan may be quick on the football field, but it appears he is even more quick-witted of it as he beat his team-mates to win ‘The Kube’ last night.
He was joined by a host of GAA stars, radio stars and local politicians in the Brandon Hotel where an incredible crowd of over 1,000 people watched the CBS The Green fundraiser sponsored by Lee Strand Protein+ Milk and Moriarty Construction.
Darran beat Colm Cooper into second to take the top prize of €2,000 for his chosen charity, The Irish Heart Foundation, along with helping to raise funds for an all-weather pitch on the grounds of CBS The Green, which was the main reason for the event.
‘The Kube’ charity fundraiser is based on the popular UK TV show ‘The Cube’, which challenges contestants to perform straight forward tasks with a difficult twist inside an enclosed area.
Along with The Gooch and Darran, taking part were James O’Donoghue, Kieran Donaghy, Aidan O’Mahony, Marc Ó Sé, Barry John Keane, Tomas Ó Sé, Donnacha Walsh, Tommy Walsh and David Moran.
Representing the Kerry hurlers was last year’s Christy Ring winning captain, John ‘Tweek’ Griffin.
Local GAA clubs, Na Gaeil, Austin Stacks, Kerins O Rahilly’s, John Mitchells, as well as St Brendan’s Basketball and Tralee Rugby Club were also represented along with CBS students and teachers and Radio Kerry’s Elaine Kinsella and Andrew Morrissey.
Eoin Liston, Mick Galwey and Ogie Moran were also there as well as Fianna Fail TD John Brassil and Michael Healy Rae. A great night of entertainment and loads of money raised for The Green. Scroll down for photos (we’ll have many more tomorrow)…
