PRO | Monday 12 February 2018
The “Doheny Victory Celebration” was a great success
with close on 200 people in attendance. The new format of the dinner
dance was met with approval & everyone had a very enjoyable night.
This year’s social celebrated the successes
of the Doheny Ladies winning the Junior West Cork Championship, the Doheny U21
A footballers securing the West Cork championship, the U21 B Hurlers winning
the West Cork Hurling Championship & the Sam Maguire Minor footballers who
won both the County & West Cork championships & leagues in 2017.
As usual there was huge interest in the Player of the Year
Award. The Denis Crowley Perpetual Trophy went to Sean Daly. Sean
who represented the Cork U21s in 2017 had a fine year in both codes for the
Club and his performances were instrumental in the successes achieved at U21
level in 2017. The Club-person/persons of the Year Award went to the
organizing of the Strictly Dunmanway Dancing sub-committee consisting of
Michael Farr, Anna Murphy, Mary Hayes, Miriam Forbes and Karen Farr.
Playing activities:
The Junior A footballers got their league campaign off to a
winning start with a 1-13 to 1-05 win over Kilbrittain in Sam Maguire
Park. The senior footballers lost away to Rockchapel on a score-line of
3-09 to 1-11 in Division 3 of the County football league. There was a lot
of new debutants in the Doheny team & they acquitted themselves
admirably. The Dohenys at one stage led by 4 points but a 5 minute blitz
by Rockchapel midway through the second half flipped the game on its head and
the home side ran out victors.
