Killeavy Stars honoured by Councils

Killeavy’s three All-Ireland Minor winning players Conor King, James Donnelly and Kealan Downey, along with their teammates and management, were guests of honour at a civic reception in the Canal Court Hotel last night. The reception was hosted jointly by & Mourne, and Craigavon councils and marked the Armagh’s winning of the All-Ireland Minor crown for the first time in sixty years. The evening was superbly hosted by Benny Tierney and speeches by the three mayors and other dignitaries paid tribute to the efforts of both team and management. There was a special mention for Pauric Hollywood, whose involvement in a serious car accident caused the postponement of this event last November. Pauric has thankfully recovered well from the accident and was able to enjoy the evening alongside his teammates. Each panel member was presented with a watch Proud parents John & Marion King, Henry & Bernadette Donnelly and John & as a token of the councils’ appreciation.

Two thousand thanks to the Donkey Derby The annual Donkey Derby held at Cornamucklagh House, Omeath has raised over €180,000 for charity since its first running in 2006. Much of this money has been donated to the Parkinson’s Society but many other charities, schools and local organisations have been grateful beneficiaries over the past four years. This year, €20,000 was raised by the Donkey Derby committee and these funds were distributed at a special event in Cornamucklagh House last Friday evening. Killeavy GAC was honoured by the committee’s decision to award our club €2,000. The photograph shows Finance Committee chairman Brian McKevitt and club chairman Michael O’Neill receiving the cheque from Donkey Derby committee members Terry King, John King, Kieran Phillips and Martin McCaul. On accepting the cheque, Michael O’Neill congratulated the committee on their magnificent fundraising achievement, thanked them for their most generous donation to club funds and wished them every success with the 2010 Donkey Derby. ______
