Mr Charleville enjoying the final feeling

For more years than he cares to remember, Martin Condon was Mr Charleville GAA.

He was even more, though. To every club and society, the company of which he was managing director, Cavanagh’s of Charleville, was the first port of call in search of sponsorship and aid. He donated generously to Newtownshandrum when they were enjoying their golden era and was the main sponsor of Kilmallock when they reached the All-Ireland club senior hurling final in 1993.

Now, however with Charleville in the All-Ireland Club JHC final on Saturday, Martin can finally smile.
