Paul Kelly.
Position - Full Back.
Played the semi final in a terrible state having not eaten for 3 days before hand, couldn’t even manage a pint after and then you know it’s serious👌😂 A calm presence on the square. Another club stalwart. A man deserving of a medal!

Daniel St Ledger.
Position - Midfield.
Arrived back 2 years ago like a lost puppy😅 Rumours circulating that Brid has a new carpet bought as it might be needed after Friday 25th! 🤷♂️😁

Cillian Redmond.
Position - Midfield.
A big bear with a big engine. Also provided the advice of the year before the semi.. “if we don’t succeed any goals we’ve a great chance of winning” 😂😂

A young man going places, maybe not academically though 😅🙈

Daryl Roberts.
Position - Corner Forward.
The ginger wizard has been banging in goals this year after his return from London. 🔥 A genius on the field, not so much off it 😅 the type of player to turn something into nothing, example A Pint 🍺. Has the X-Factor!

Ian St Ledger.
Position - Forward.
Only started training hard this year because the photo of Dan, Cillian and Rob on the fridge at home was driving him mad. 🤷♂️😂 Huge impact for the juniors this year. And another sweet left boot.
#KC

Owen Roberts.
Position - Centre Forward.
The star ⭐️ has made the 11 jersey his own this year [pun intended 😂] fit as a fiddle and kicks with both legs he is an asset to any team. In line for a hair transplant in his early 20’s though, has a long road ahead of him 😅

It is with great sadness that we inform our members of the sudden passing of Fr Jimmy Doyle of Craan, a former player of note and life long supporter of the club and friend to many. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dílis.
