Thurles Gaels secretary steps down after 19 years of service

After nineteen years of loyal and dedicated service to Thurles Gaels GAA club, Kieran O’Dwyer stepped down as Secretary at the recent AGM and was lauded for his fine work for the club.

Kieran was a Thurles Fennelly’s man until Thurles Gaels came into being, and he continued to give great service to the amalgamated club, running its affairs and ensuring that progress was made on and off the field – the magnificent facilities now evident in Kickham Park are testimony to the vision of Kieran and others who went about putting the facilities at the disposal of the club members with the astro turf and hurling wall being the more recent additions.

Kieran is one of the longest standing committee members around since the Fennellys days, and his job has not always been a straight forward one - there have been tough days, and there have been great days.

But Kieran was always a constant for everyone at the club.

Thurles Gaels members paid tribute to Kieran for his tremendous service said they looked forward to his continuous involvement in various capacities over the next era.

The club also has a new Chairman with Bobby Wade coming on board.

Exciting times ahead for Thurles Gaels, no doubt.
