David Kelly clocks up special century at Highfield

Highfield’s David Kelly has joined a select All-Ireland League club, whose members are as rare as they are durable.

Last Saturday, the Offaly native was honoured by the Highfield hierarchy for playing in 100 consecutive games for the famous Cork club. By any stretch of the imagination, Kelly’s achievement is remarkable and testimony to his ability, form, fitness, and a considerable degree of luck in avoiding injury these last seven seasons with the WoodleighPark outfit.

The 33-year-old was recipient of a special photographic memoir from club president Eugene Carley last Saturday in the presence of his wife, parents and other members of his family.
