County Convention 2018

Tuesday, 18 December 2018 at 8AM

The 2018 County Convention was held in O’Loughlin’s Gaels GAA Club on Monday night. A large crowd was in attendance to bring the year to a close. The meeting opened with the report of Secretary Conor Deniffe followed by the annual financial report delivered by Treasurer Barry Hickey. Chairperson Jimmy Walsh then addressed the assembled convention to deliver his first address as Chairperson. Mr Walsh acknowledged the role of all clubs and the volunteers throughout the county and highlighted all the great work being done at club and county level, despite the many challenges facing rural areas.

The meeting oversaw the return of the outgoing board, with only one election that of Leinster Council representatives. There were four candidates and the successful candidates were Willie Dempsey (Thomastown) and Val Malone (James Stephens).

Sunday, 16 December 2018 at 9AM

It is with deep regret that we learned of the passing of Michael (Mick) O’Neill the public face of Nowlan Park, and the link between club and county players, officials, and the media for almost forty years. A true gentleman and multi skilled volunteer Michael knew every nook and corner of the stadium and was ever available to meet all visitors around the clock. The sympathies of all involved in Kilkenny GAA are extended to his wife Mary, his family members Martina, Michael and Willie their extended families, his brothers and sisters, Frank, Liam, Patty and Marie his grand children, great children, neighbours and friends.
