On Saturday 8th February a Celebration night was held in the South Court Hotel to mark the successes of the Kilpeacon Minors in winning three trophies in 2013. This feat was achieved across both codes, with the City Hurling title added to the double of City and County Football titles won earlier in the season.
Most players were on both squads and the successes were an acknowledgement of their commitment throughout the year. This was also a great example of two GAA clubs who were short of numbers at this age group coming together to achieve mutual success as the Kilpeacon amalgamation of Crecora Manister & Fedamore at Minor level achieved these excellent results in its inaugural year.
The hugely popular guest of honour on the night, Limerick hurler Paul Browne, spoke of the importance of his GAA Club to his career and urged the players to stay together and develop further.
Each player was presented with their Medals, Kilpeacon Gear Bags and commemorative tops. The Coaches received commemorative Kilpeacon tops in recognition of their valuable contribution during the long year.
Noel Murphy in his dual role as event organizer and compére thanked all those who attended for their continued support and the South Court for the well prepared venue.
A highlight of the night were the “archives” which featured photos and videos of the Minor players from Under 9 up to the present day.
