Thanks for the memories Keith

It's the end of an era for our club with the news that Keith Gorry is going to finish his playing career with St. Mary's, Rochfortbridge. Keith's transfer was approved at last Monday night's monthly committee meeting. He recently became a selector with the St. Mary's senior team and expressed a desire to play with their second team in the coming year.

After 25 years playing adult football with Kilbeggan, Keith owes us absolutely nothing. The Arden native, who has been living in Rochfortbridge for the past decade, has given his heart and soul to the club since coming in from Rahugh National School and playing his first game at U12 level in the mid-1980s. He will go down as one of our greatest players and also represented his county with distinction at U16, minor and U21 level. In addition, Keith has coached ladies football and underage teams in the club and has also served on the committee.

The club wishes Keith all the best with his new club and is delighted that he will be remaining involved with us as joint-treasurer and as a member of our lotto team.

Niall O'Brien elected minor board chairman

We wish Niall O'Brien all the best in his new role as county minor committee chairman. Niall has been a Kilbeggan stalwart down the years, first as a player and then as a selector. His father John served as club chairman for over 20 years.
