County Junior A Hurling Champions
For the eight time in the GAA's one hundred and fifty years Athenry were crowned County Junior A Hurling Champions when at Kenny Park they defeated Loughrea by 2-16 to 1-12. Two cracking goals in the final minutes by Sean Keogh, a late sub, ended a compitative and entertaining Final with captain Gary Moroney collecting the Cup.
Paddy Gannon R.I.P.
Deepest condolences to the family and friends of Paddy Gannon on the sad news of his passing. Paddy was wing back on the first Athenry hurling team to win a county minor championship in 1966. He was also playing in 1967 when Athenry retained the minor cup. Paddy moved to Galway to work for CIE and played senior with Liam Mellows. He always kept in touch with Athenry and was a selector on several of our junior hurling teams. Paddy will be fondly remembered by many as the bus driver who brought our teams to Dublin on All-Ireland Club Final days. Rest in Peace.
GAAforALL presentations
The GAAforALL finished up for the year with a presentation of medals and new club gear. The gear was sponsored by Panalok (www.panalok.ie). A special thanks to Panalok and General manager Ollie Freeney for the fantastic contribution. We were also delighted to welcome Anne Rabbitte TD Minister for state with responsibility for Disability who made the presentations. GAAforAll is a GAA initiative to give children with additional needs an opportunity to play our games and be a part of our club. Thanks to all the parents, coaches and officials who make this possible.
Six points down following two quick Oranmore/Maree goals immediately after half-time Athenry minor team found a way back to capture the Club's 11th County Minor Hurling Title at Kenny Park. Inspired by scoring chief Frank Burke and heroic defending by their backs in the closing stages Paddy Kelly's charges were worthy winners of a classic hurling final.
