Before today's game in Cromane the Milltown-Castlemaine team formed a guard of honour for Donnchadh Walsh, who had announced his retirement from inter-county football yesterday. A lovely gesture, it's what the GAA is all about. 👏🏻

On this day in 2014: Cromane's Donnchadh Walsh lifts Sam Maguire after Kerry's 2-9 to 0-12 win over Donegal in the All-Ireland SFC final. A great day for Donnchadh, his family, Kerry, and Cromane. 🏆 👑 🏐

We are delighted that our great clubman Seán O’Sullivan is part of the Kerry U20 management team. Sean, who is still playing with our senior team, is a selector in Declan O’Sullivan’s management team along with John Galvin from Dr Crokes. Best of luck to the Kerry U20s in 2021.
Excellent news for our club this morning: we are delighted to accept a sports capital grant of €137,159 from the

Brendan Teahan - a tribute:
As a club we cannot add much to the heart-felt tributes from Cromane Rowing Club and others, we can only add that when our GAA club needed Brendan he was there for us. (1/4)
Glorious day on September 20, 2009, as two Cromane men, Seán and Donnchadh, lift Sam Maguire together after Kerry's 0-16 to 1-9 win over Cork. Both men also liked a goal in Croke Park, here we have Sean v Galway (2002) & Donnchadh v Dublin (2013). Photos:

Comórtas Peil Páidí Ó Sé Junior final result: Cromane 3-8, Renard 1-8
Mighty win, great performance. Enjoy the hospitality back west lads!
Second half goals from Darren and Mikey Houlihan and a lovely move finished by Sean Teahan won it for us!

Our GAA skills challenge is here, as
@SeanTheBawn

TASK: You need a ball & a wall. Start 10m from the wall. It’s 5 body catches off both left and right foot (10 in total) & 5 overhead catches left and right (10 in total)
(1/2)
Well done to our own Michael Teahan on recently taking up the position of Financial Controller at Croke Park. Great to see our club members doing well professionally off the field and, of course, it's always great to have a Cromane man in Croke Park! 👏🏻
All involved with Cromane GAA Club are deeply saddened by the passing of Jack O’Grady. Jack played with Cromane and GGC up until minor level and was always a great teammate and good company. Our sympathy to his parents Ruth and Dermot, brother Ned, & sister Ella.

The very best of luck to Peter Crowley in his retirement from inter county football. Plenty of football left in him, thanks for all you gave in the green and gold. Peter is a familiar face to many of our members in his work, he’ll be getting plenty of chat today. 👏🏻🟩🟨
Donnchadh interviewed as ambassador for World Physiotherapy Day, which takes place tomorrow, urging over-55s to ‘use it or lose it’ & ‘hold onto what they have’ to slow the ageing process & stay mentally sharp.

We've calculated a combined 49 years of senior football service to our club between these two, Sylvester! Donnchadh debuted at 14 and Sean at 15 (well before the new rules for under-17s applied). Absolute stars!
CHALLENGE 2: Soloing.
Place 2 blue cones (or tin cans) 10m from each other. Add 4 yellow cones at a 3m angle from first cones.
U8s solo between blue cones changing between left & right.
U10s should slalom between all the cones changing between left & right at each cone. (1/3)

Alan is a former trainer of the Legion senior football team & the Kerry ladies senior football team. We are delighted to have you onboard Alan, all the best in the year ahead to you & the team.
It’s GAA All-Star weekend so what better time to remember Donnchadh’s honour in 2015. Our club’s first All-Star, Donnchadh was named at half forward in the 2015 side. A great recognition of Donnchadh’s worth to the Kerry teams he played in. 👏🏻🇱🇻🟢🟡 (1/2)
