Mullabrack Celebrate 125 Years of the GAA
Mullabrack GFC celebrated 125
years of the GAA on Sunday past. The celebrations started with
An U12 match between the boys and girls of the club. This proved
very entertaining with our young players demonstrating their
skills under the watchful eye of their coach and referee for the
day Kevin Gallogly.
U12s: Ashleen Toner, Collen McKeown, Kerri
Davis, Mairead Rice, Clara McKeown, Eimear Rice, Ursula McGeown,
Maria Gallogly, Maggie Rice, Caoimbhe Farrell, Orla Fields,
Shane O’Hanlon, Daniel Doran, Darragh Reilly, Conor O’Hanlon,
Padraig Davis, Fearghal O’Hanlon, Eoin Crilly, James Rice, James
Toner, Ruari Farrell.
The main event saw the current
ladies squad take on the men of Mullabrack. The men’s team
included past players, some of whom had hung up their boots many
years ago. The current players were somewhat hindered by their
footwear and had to rely on the old hands to get the scores on
the board. Club president Seamus Mallon refereed the first half,
while Down Granddad Pete McLoughlin took charge in the second
half.
Men: Seamus Rice, Frankie Conlon, Phelim
Sands, Eddie O’Hanlon, Collie Murphy, Joe Fields, Tony Murray,
Oliver McGeown, Dominic Crossan, Kieran O’Hanlon, Kevin McKee,

McKeown, Chris Dougan, Jim Livingstone, Eamonn Boylan, Mickey
McElhone, Colin Comiskey, Darragh Brennan, Philip McGeown,
Christopher Murphy, Hugh McSorley, Liam Conlon, Christopher
Dougan

ladies of course
got some help from their coaches and in the end
gave the men a very
tough time.
Ladies: Josie McSorley, Faye Rice, Ciara
Gallogly, Ciara Brennan, Michaela Dugan, Frances Boyce, Gemma
Rice, Kathryn Rice, Aoife Lennon, Helen Corvan, Toni Morgan,
Leanne Murray, Martina Hearty, Caithlin O’Hanlon, Saoirse
