Congratulations to Seán Hehir, who has been appointed new Senior Men's Club Captain after predecessor Eoin Flynn handed over the baton last weekend. Eoin did a great job during his three year tenure in the position, and although a hard act to follow we can be sure the good work will continue with Seán at the helm. We wish Seán every success in his new role, and without doubt his youthful enthusiasm, athletic talent and admin skills will combine to bring our club even greater achievements than before.
