'There are people everywhere completely dedicated to the club, but Jimmy O'Mahony topped all of them'

'Every trip was an adventure. And all of it for Newcestown'

Jimmy O’Mahony is presented with a GAA President’s Award by GAA President Nickey Brennan in 2009. Newcestown official Donie Keane said: ‘Jimmy linked the past with the present. He kept contact with players who had moved away and kept them abreast of what was happening — but he also made modern players, the youngsters, aware of their heritage.’

The date isn't important. The game doesn’t matter. It’s the cast that makes the story.

Sean Crowley can remember being a passenger in Jimmy O’Mahony’s car as they hustled towards Kealkil one evening years ago, anxious to see their club Newcestown take the field.
