Latest NewsThe Patrick Curtin Annual Memorial Tournament
There was great excitement at the Patrick Curtin Memorial Tournament at Moyvane G.A.A. pitch recently where the yellow bibs took on the red bibs. Both teams showed great grit, determination and skill with the yellow bibs taking the title on the day! Patrick was a fantastic player for Moyvane and Kerrry. He is a role model for all our children and we keep his memory alive through this annual tournament.
A huge thank you to Patrick’s family who attended the tournament and presented the trophy and medals to the winners. We would also like to acknowledge and thank Vincent Murphy, Castleisland who sponsored the medals. Thanks to referee/teacher Mr. McMahon, Mrs. Curtin and all involved in organising this annual tournament.
