Donie Duggan, RIP
It is with the deepest regret that we announce the heart breaking, sudden passing of one of our great clubmen, Donie Duggan.
From the Duggan family of Kilkilleen, who have been steeped in Ilen Rovers through the years, Donie was an excellent under-age player.

@bantryblues
. Terry was a selector with several Cork football teams including the All Ireland Senior Football winning team in 2010.
Our U7s travelled up for a football Blitz in Pairc Ui Chaoimh today. It was a fantastic experience for the boys, they all really rose to the occasion and played some great football in their 3 games against teams from Carrigtwohill and Ballinora. A great family day out for all!
