Sports Capital Grant Funding

Millstreet GAA is thrilled to announce that we have secured €160,000 in sports capital grant funding to upgrade our beloved GAA Hall! Built in 1990, this hall has been a cornerstone for our community, and with this funding, we’ll be enhancing our facilities to ensure it’s accessible and welcoming to everyone.

A huge thank you goes to Michael Moynihan TD for his invaluable guidance and support throughout this process, from the early planning stages to delivering the great news!

We also want to give a big shoutout to Munster Drone Services for creating a superb video that strengthened our application and provided us with fantastic footage.

Our Club Development Committee at Millstreet GAA worked tirelessly behind the scenes, coordinating this application along with several other grants.

We couldn’t have achieved this without their dedication and the incredible support of our community members and local groups who supported the grant application.

We’re excited to get this project underway in the coming months and can’t wait to see the difference it will make for our community!

Thank you to everyone who has supported us on this journey. Together, we’re building a brighter future for Millstreet!

Remembering Billy Coleman being Crowned British Rally Champion 50 years ago back in 1974

It’s hard to think that Millstreet Rally Legend Billy Coleman was crowned British Rally Champion back in 1974,it is therefore fitting to just remind ourselves 50 years later of what a great achievement that was in what was a Premier Rally Championship in Europe at the time.

Billy was Irelands Top Rally Driver back in the 70`s and 80`s and amongst his best achievements was as already mentioned winning The British Rally Championship in 1974 in his Ford Escort Mark 1.

Billy also scored victory on The Circuit of Ireland 3 times in 1975,1976,and 1984 as well as finishing 4th overall in the 1985 World Championship Rally Tour De Corse which was one of the toughest challenges back in the day.

Billy was also crowned Irish Tarmac Champion in 1984 and finished 3rd in The European Rally Championship in 1979 and has won many Irish Rallies over the years including the likes Cork 20,Donegal and Killarney Rally of the Lakes Events.

Billy is still up there as one of the greats and from that great achievement back in 1974 50 years later we salute one of the finest Irish Drivers to grace the Rally Stages both here at Home and Worldwide.

 

Presentation to Millstreet Players

A special presentation was made to Darragh Cashman and Cian Denis O’Connor during the Perpetual Cup Celebration last Sunday. Denis Kiely spoke about both of our local sporting heroes before presenting them with their trophies –  Darragh Cashman for being selected to the Cork Senior Football Team and Cian Denis O’Connor for being selected to the Cork Minor Hurling Team. It is truly wonderful to see such talent coming from our club and they are indeed magnificent role models to all of our younger players
