As one of those who were involved in organising the Kelleher get-together in Millstreet on 24th August, I would like to say a belated thank you to everyone who joined us, and made us feel so welcome. I would particularly like to thank Sean Radley, the staff of the Walis Arms Hotel, and all the Kellehers. You were wonderful to us, and the Australian Kellehers thought you were fantastic. If that is a foretaste of what the Gathering is going to be like next year, it will be great. Thank you all very very much. Rosaleen Underwood

22nd September 2012: We beat Greenmount 5-2 in the town park this morning. They started much better and were ahead after just 4 minutes. We settled a bit after that and were back on level terms in the 20th min. Tadhg Collins outmuscled the defender on the end line and his cross was turned into the net by a Greenmount defender with Adrian O Connor waiting to tap in. The game was even enough after that until 10 mins from half time. Greenmount won a penalty which was well saved by Piotr Oziast. We broke straight from the rebound through Brian Murphy and he fed Collins to fire just wide. Greenmount had two more very good chances before the half but Oziast kept them out brilliantly. In the first few mins of the 2nd half Oziast was called in to action again but then we [read more …] “Millstreet Celtic 5 Greenmount 2”
