Paul Murphy presents U-14 county medals to Eoghan Ruadh
THE Eoghan Ruadh U-14 team that won the County Divisional Championship were presented with their medals last Friday by Kerry footballer, Paul Murphy, in Gneeveguilla. The East Kerry Commmitte was represented by Chairman Tim Ryan, PRO Áíne NÍ Shuilleabhain and East Kerry Coiste na nÓg Chairman, Sean O’Sullivan.
Paul told the players that they are in a very unique position of winning the U-14 County Championship and having a great chance of winning the U-16 Championship if they focus and put in the effort. As Paul explained County Championship titles are not easy to win and there are a lot of players who won All-Irelands with Kerry Senior football teams who don’t have a County Championship medal at any level.
Paul encouraged the players to put in the hard work and effort required and also to enjoy the time together. He said County Championship medals don’t come easily and they are greatly treasured. Tim Ryan and Sean O’Sullivan both thanked Paul for taking time out of his busy schedule to present the medals.
Many thanks also to Danny Fleming who arranged the night, to the team management and to Gneeveguilla CLG for hosting the presentation of medals and for their great hospitality.
