Pitch and Putt Success for MCS

Cian O’Connor, Rory McCarthy and Cian Denis O’Connor were presented with their Munster medals for placing third in the Munster Pitch and Putt in Tipperary recently.
The team played in the All Ireland in Kildare on Friday, May 23rd, and were just pipped for 3rd place in a countback. Fourth place nationally was a fantastic achievement, with all three posting excellent scores. Well done to the lads on coming so close to a national title.
Well done also to the other three teams who represented the school so well in Munster. The players were Oran Kiely, Conor McSweeney, Alan McAuliffe, Labhras O’Dywer, Stephen O,’Mahony, Oisin McCarthy, Diarmaid Keane, Gabriel Zuber and Mark Hickey.
The school is very grateful to Millstreet Pitch and Putt Club for the use of their facilities to prepare for the schools’ competitions. We’d encourage students to join up and enjoy this great game locally and maybe represent the school in the future.
Next up for the lads is the World Schools’ Golf in St Andrew’s, Scotland, a bigger challenge but the short game will be vital!

The Late Dan Dennehy

It was with deep sadness that we learnt of the passing of Dan Dennehy, a true stalwart of Cullen GAA Club. A former player, Chairman, and long-serving Duhallow GAA delegate, Dan’s unwavering dedication to our club and community spanned decades. His leadership and vision were instrumental in the development of many of our key facilities, leaving a lasting legacy that will benefit generations to come.
Dan remained actively involved in club affairs right up to his passing, a testament to his deep love for Cullen GAA and the GAA community at large. His loss is deeply felt by all who had the privilege of working alongside him, and by everyone who values the spirit of community, commitment, and volunteerism that he so passionately embodied.
We extend our heartfelt sympathies to Dan’s family, friends, and all who mourn his passing. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dílis.
With thanks,
Karen Hickey (Chairperson), Marie Morley (Secretary), Denis Hickey (Treasurer) & Brid Walsh (PRO)
