Under 17 Player of the year

This is usually a club event held in August at our club awards night but unfortunately due to the impending emigration of the Counihan family for pastures new in Australia, we at Killarney Athletic are saddened to lose a vital cog of not only our under 17 team but also our under 18 and Senior B team Tommy. Son of Noel and Eileen and brother to Athletic under 10 member Kevin, Tommy concentrated solely on soccer this season and gave 100% commitment along with his teammates but his outstanding performances ensured that he would win the under 17 player of the year. A great credit to his family and we at Athletic are saddened to lose not only 2 players but also 4 supporters of the club. We wish them the best of luck and we will meet with Tommy to send our best regards on Wednesday 17th June at the pitch at 7.00pm. Tommy will join former Athletic players Paudie O’Connor, David Murphy, Michael O’Grady and Johnny Woo to name a few at Perth Shamrocks.
