Congratulations to senior player Larry Moran who was part of the UCD team that captured the Sigerson Cup at the weekend. Larry becomes the third Killoe man to capture a Sigerson medal following in the footsteps of Davy Sheerin and Michael Quinn. Certainly a proud moment for any player.

Finally this week we offer our deepest condolences to the Brown and Kiernan/Sorohan families on their very sad bereavements last week. Bridie Brown was a very loyal and passionate Killoe supporter who always had her flag flying and her lotto ticket in the draw. She will be sadly missed in all walks of life in the community. May both rest in peace.
