❤️3rd Annual Seán Rooney Memorial Cup❤️

THANK YOU🙌❤️

A huge thank you to everyone who contributed, supported and played a part in our 3rd annual Seán Rooney Memorial cup, it was a fantastic day remembering our Seán.

To everyone who kindly helped us out, The Unit, Muirhevnamormor DSC, Muirhevnamor Community Centre, Ryan Duffy, Orlaith Mullholland, The Lost Bhoys and the Rooney Clann - thanks so much ❤️

Thanks for the all the lads who togged out in wee celts kits and making the match a memorable one⚽️

A sn**ch and grab win for the Rooney XI team on the day after periods of sustained pressure put on us by the lads. Going in at the break 2-1 down, an inspiring half time speech by both Jim “Gaffer” O’Neill and Terrence “Pep” Kellly, had us chomping at the bit!

Lukey G grabbed his 3rd of the day to level the game before Dillon O’Neill bags the Winner to ensure the Rooney XI team claimed the famous Rooney cup for a second year running.

Geno finally got his hands on the Rooney Cup❤️❤️

A brilliant gathering for us all to remember Seán, a day before his 27th Birthday, he will be forever loved, adored and remembered❤️

A huge thank you again, to everyone who came, especially in what was poor weather conditions. It’s greatly appreciated ❤️
