Medal Presentation
- Muckalee Football Club and St. Martin’s Hurling Club held their medal presentation this evening in Muckalee Community Centre. The u.16 football team, Senior Footballers and Senior Hurlers were all presented with their medals by local Celebrity Jim Bolger. Football Board Chairman Tom Brennan presented Man of the Match for the 2013 County Football Final to Colm McGrath. Guest speakers included Lar Maher, Tom Cullen, Patrick O’Flynn, John Ryan, Jim Bolger and Charlie Carter. Both clubs thanked Jim Bolger for his generous sponsorship for Bord na N-óg and for taking the time out of his busy schedule to attend. Also to Dick Dooley for supplying the food and Maria Murphy and Breda Maher for catering and everyone who helped in any way possible. Also in attendance was the captain of the first Senior Football winning team (in 1968), Nickey Morrissey and his brother Martin who was former Chairman/Secretary of the club. As Lar Maher said in his speech, Martin would drive from Kilkenny to Muckalee to bring a team of young lads only to be told that the match was called off as there were no mobile phones or twitter in that time! An enjoyable evening was had by all and look forward to 2014.
