<h3>Rathmore GAA Club celebrated its most-successful season ever with a gala awards presentation at the weekend.</h3>
The club celebrated a never-to-be-forgotten 2022 at the Killarney Heights Hotel and honoured some of its star players that led both club and county to national success over the last 12 months.
Former Kerry footballer, Aidan O’Mahony, who announced his retirement from football late last year, was honoured for his commitment to the club over the years.
The club won three major titles last season and the Kerry, Munster and All-Ireland Intermediate Championship cups were on display. The management team of Tim Cronin, Denis Moynihan and Dan O’Sullivan were also honoured on the night.
“It was an absolutely marvellous night and one to be remembered – we had a highly successful year to celebrate,” club PRO Diarmuid McCarthy told the Killarney Advertiser.
The club also supplied two players to Jack O’Connor’s All-Ireland-winning Kerry team and both Kerry goalkeeper Shane Ryan and half-back Paul Murphy were also recognised on the night.
“Our two county players had a wonderful year,” said Diarmuid.
Brian Friel was named as the Club Player of the Year and the prestigious Club Person of the Year award went to secretary Mike Cronin.
“It was richly deserved, I don’t know how Mike keeps on top of everything,” added the PRO.
Minor Fionn Murphy was also honoured after he won an All Star award for Kerry last season.
The club PRO thanked the organising committee, Deborah Daly, Emma Copper-Buckley, Tim O’Brien, Fintan Twomey and Don Casey for putting on an event that “was organised to a tee&#8221;.
