Can Tomás Ó Sé and a vintage Massey Ferguson pull Garnish GAA club out of a hole?

'We found Patsy Dineen from Ovens and the finest 1967 Massey Ferguson 135, fully restored to showroom condition'

Tomas O'Se hands over €100 to Ollie Rue O'Sullivan, of Garnish GAA for a ticket for the fundraising draw for Garnish GAA Club - A maximum of 500 tickets will be available for the draw for a prize of a vintage 1967 Massey Ferguson tractor. The tractor was restored by Patsy Dineen from Ovens. Picture: Larry Cummins

That precious germ of ingenuity that feeds the passion to keep Garnish GAA alive is motoring well.

The furthest club in Ireland from Croke Park, on the tip of the Beara peninsula in west Cork, should have succumbed to a shortage of players by now, to a lack of funding and ultimately to a dearth of games, extended by a national lockdown.
