Killeavy Club News

The History of Killeavy GAC 1886 - 2015 The St. Moninna’s club is steeped in history from our formation in 1886 through to the present day.

The task of putting together the definitive history of the GAA in Killeavy has been a labour of love that has occupied Oliver McDonald over the past number of years. The result of thousands of hours of research is a thoroughly comprehensive club history consisting of over 500 pages with hundreds of team and individual photographs that will ignite interest throughout the parish and beyond. The book is almost ready to go to print and will be available for the Christmas season.
