Everybody present will long remember, the generosity of Brian Cody, his sage words of advice and encouragement to your young charges and his extreme generosity, in posing for photos with players and their families, autographing hurleys and jerseys, and staying late into the evening to make himself available to all members of our club community.
Brian Cody and Camogie Chairwoman Carmel Moloney congratulated our Kerry U14 camogie development squad members Clodagh Begley, Hannah Sharkey, Lia O’Connell, Ruth O’Connell and Yasmine Sultan.
