Juvenile Celebration Friday Jan 23rd at 8pm – ALL INVITED
www.oloughlingaels.gaa.ie
The O’loughlin Gaels GAA Juvenile Celebration Night - celebrating the unprecedented successes of our young players. For the first time in the clubs history u14, u16 and Minor O’Loughlin Gael teams achieved a clean sweep of county hurling championship successes in 2014. On top of this these lads also accomplished County league titles and football championship honours as well as boasting players who represented successful Kilkenny and Colleges Provincial and All-Ireland winning teams.
The night will be hosted by Helen Carroll, presenter of the popular television show ‘Ear to the Ground’ and resident of St. Johns parish. Helen comes from a very proud GAA family so is very aware of GAA ‘lore and will guide us through the packed schedule with ease.
As acknowledgement of their outstanding achievement the event will be attended by Kilkenny County Board officials. Presentations will be made to three club stalwarts recognising their achievements.
Jim Kavanagh has been a committed member of O’Loughlin Gaels Camogie club serving as chairperson for the last 10 years.  As a volunteer with the Chernobyl Children’s Trust Jim has been honoured with 2 national awards for his charitable work.
Mick Nolan served as a past Chairman of O’Loughlin Gaels GAA Club. He is the clubs most successful team manager and is responsible for guiding many of the club’s teams to numerous successes over the years. Many of the clubs greatest players have been tutored by Mick and he continues to guide young players, evident by his involvement with last year’s successful u14s. He also has had a hand in developing many of the juveniles celebrating success on Friday night.  Mick tends to the upkeep of the clubs pristine pitches and players and visitors alike are very appreciative of his work in this regard. His dedication to the club is undeniable and O’Loughlin Gaels are delighted to have the opportunity to recognise this.
Brian Hogan is the third of the nights recipients. To describe Brian Hogan as a club stalwart is an understatement. Brian Hogan is an O’Loughlin Gaels legend. A colossus by any standards Brian led teams by his own actions. A leader of men and a director of operations in defence. For his county he won 8 Leinster SHCs, 7 All-Ireland SHC’s, 6 National Hurling Leagues, 4 Walsh Cups, 2 All-star awards and had the honour of climbing the famous Hogan Stand steps on All-Ireland Sunday as Kilkenny captain in 2011. He won an All-Ireland Colleges title with St. Kierans College in 2000. For O’Loughlin Gaels he has won 3 County SHC, 2 Club SHC Leinster titles, 1 County SHLeague and an u14 championship ….so far!! Who will ever forget the day the Richter scale leaped sending geologists into a frenzy, as Nowlan Park shuddered when he met county comrade J Tyrell with a seismic shoulder. (Rumour has it that JT had to have his shoulder blade removed from his clavicle at half time that day!). So come along on Friday Night for this perfect opportunity to show your appreciation  for Brian
ALL ARE INVITED to join us in acknowledging our juvenile Gaels achievements and pay tribute to 3 members who all have brought honour to O’Loughlin Gaels GAA Club. There will be chat, music AND it’s an opportunity for us all to get together and reminisce and to create new memories. Let’s pack the hall and make it a night to remember. 8pm at O’Loughlin Gaels GAA Club on Friday, January 23rd.

u16 County Football Champions
Gaelic Football u16 County Champions 2014
Congratulations to the O’Loughlins u16 Football team who retained the Duggan Steel County Championship by defeating Dicksboro at a cold and blustery Palmerstown on Sunday morning. This was a tough encounter with two big teams slugging it out under difficult conditions. The first half of this game non-descript as both teams struggled to deal with the cold conditions. The soft ground and a stiff cold breeze resulted in lots of handling errors and few scores but both teams clearly were determined and didn’t give each other an inch. In a tight game every ball was contested and when referee John Guinan blew for half time neither team held the advantage.
The second half tempo of the game increased somewhat which helped to warm the blood of the sizeable support that had gathered. O’Loughlin Gaels had the disadvantage now of kicking into the wind but looked more like the team with the wind in their sails. Maybe it was the half time talk from Manger Brian Dowling but whatever it was these lads had goals on their minds and goals they got. Dacel Fwamba entered the fray adding pace to the forward pack and the momentum immediately turned in the St. Johns lads favour. Goals from Kevin Murphy, Eoin Wall and Tervine Wallace gave our lads the advantage late in the second half but Dicksboro fought hard and kept the fight up to the very end. With the sides level in the final minute Dicksboro’s final attack was hampered by a hardworking O’Loughlins defence. Peter Collins, Conor Heary and Shane Mahony linked up to quickly move the ball out of defence. Quick thinking and fast passing movement followed by a subline kick pass up to midfield caught the Dicksboro lads on the back foot and Ben Maher moved the ball at pace to the terrier like Eoin Wall. The lively corner forward had only goal on his mind and finished into the corner of the net for his second goal of the afternoon and the Gaels fourth. Soon afterwards the final whistle sounded and our lads savoured victory with their families and friends that had gathered to support topping a great season for the u16s. Well done to all involved.
Team: Sean Bolger, Stephen Scallon, Peter Collins, Kevin Murphy, Eoin Kelly, Shane O’Mahony, Conor Heary, Charlie Deegan, Ryan Poyntz, Ronan Buckley, Tervine Wallace (c) , Ben Maher, Eoin Wall, Joe Banville, Eoin O’Shea.
Dacel Fwamba, Stephen Scallon, Sean O’Leary, Eoin Neary, David McCormack, Robert Boyd, Padraig Nolan, Adam Flynn, Joe Murphy, John Nolan, James Higgins, Cian Madden, Adam Cummins, Jordon Molloy, Lorcan Whelan, Johnny Collins
