Kilkenny GAA Club to remember past football glories

Organisers Richie Manogue, Seamus Maguire, John Scott and Liam O’Connor have scheduled a football reunion night titled 'An Evening with Jim Mulvin' on Saturday, December 2 at James Stephens GAA Club in Larchfield.

The event will honour the six senior and one intermediate football championship victories won by the club under the Offaly native’s inspired stewardship from 1991 to 2008. 

Testament to the popularity of the passionate Gaelic football devotee, a host of former players who enjoyed championship victories under his management have already committed to attend the night.

During the mid 1980s and 1990s the club’s senior hurlers went through a lengthy barren spell (1982 to 2004) which was compensated for with a run of senior football championship victories keeping the competitive spirit alive within the playing membership.
