Teddy McCarthy Tribute Night | Saturday 9th December 2023

GALWAY AND MEATH TO PLAY CORK FOR  TEDDY McCARTHY TRIBUTE

 

Galway and Meath will play Cork in a double header at Páirc UíChaoimh on Saturday, December 9th next at a special event to commemorate the unique career of Teddy McCarthy.

 

Teddy’s untimely passing in June of this year brought the GAA world to a standstill, as fans and players across the country remembered a true icon of the game.

 

Teddy McCarthy remains the only player to win Senior All Ireland titles in both hurling and football in the same year as part of the double winning teams in 1990.

 

His memory will now be celebrated in the most fitting manner with the visit of old rivals, the Meath footballers and Galway hurlers to the Páirc.

 

The fixtures against John Cleary’s and Pat Ryan’s Senior Cork sides will throw-in at 3pm and 5pm, respectively. Specially commissioned memorial trophies will be presented to the winners of each game.

 

Pictured at the launch of the Teddy McCarthy Tribute, Marc Sheehan, Chairperson of Cork GAA said, “Teddy’s passing reminded us of how lucky we were to have one of the greatest players of the game to walk amongst us. His contribution to club and county was remarkable, and there is no doubt that Teddy had a role to play in his beloved Sarsfields winning not one, but two county championships this year. We are grateful to Meath and Galway for agreeing to these fixtures, and look forward to a great day out at the Páirc on December 9th.”

 

The day will begin with a function for Teddy’s colleagues from the 1990 teams, who will also be introduced to the crowd at half-time in the respective games. Mini-games will include Glanmire Ladies Football, Sarsfields and Passage Underage teams as well as the North Mon First years.

 

Also on the day, a series of interviews will take place with some of Teddy’s former colleagues and opponents at a special event in the Seandún room.

Millstreet take All Ireland Scor Sinsir Tráth na gCeist

All Ireland Scór Sinsir Finals

Millstreet’s Tráth na gCeist captured the All-Ireland Scór Sinsir title last Saturday at the Gleneagle/INEC Arena. Having made it into the top three with Churchill, Kerry and Edenderry, Offaly, following the conclusion of the ten rounds of the table quiz, Millstreet qualified for the stage quiz. Here the team members, John Tarrant, Pat Sheehan, Con Healy, and Jerry Doody answered five individual questions each. It was a close finish that saw Kerry finish on 75 marks, Offaly on 78 and Cork on 79. This is the first time since 2001 that the title has come back to the County and indeed to the Duhallow based club.
Saturday was also a special day for West Corkman, Bill Harte, this year’s Munster recipient of the Scór Long Service Award. Bill hailing from Carbery Rangers GAA club has been an instrumental figure in Scór since its inception. Bill has been to the forefront when his club have been victorious at divisional level in Carbery and has been to every corner of the country supporting Carbery Rangers on the National stage. 2018 proved to be an extra special year for Bill when Carbery Rangers claimed the Bailéad Ghrúpa titles in Scór na nÓg and Scór Sinsir in Sligo. A truly worthy recipient of the award – Maith thú Bill.
