Eddie Hegarty R.I.P.

It was with deep regret and great sadness on Sunday afternoon that we learned of the death of our Club President, Eddie Hegarty, after a long and brave battle with illness. Eddie was one of the leading lights and founding members when the club was reformed in 1956. On the field he played hurling and football for the club with great strength and style, while as an officer, he held every position on offer over the years, including Treasurer, Secretary, Chairman and finally serving as our Club President for the past number of years. He was highly respected on and off the field and well known throughout the East Cork Division and indeed at County level. He was also a key member of the grounds committee and could regularly be seen cutting the grass in the pitch throughout the summer, always ensuring everything was in the best of order. Two of Eddie’s proudest days with the club occurred in recent years, when Carraig na bhFear ended the long wait for our first East Cork Junior A Hurling title in 2008 and regained it for a second time in 2012. Seeing his joy as the famed Jamesey Kelleher Cup came to Carraig for the first time, with his three sons playing key roles in the triumphs, was something we will all remember fondly. It was just reward for a man who had given so much to the club over so many years. A gentleman and truly a legend of the club, he will be truly missed by all in Carraig na bhFear. We extend our deepest and sincerest sympathies at...

Recalling the heroes of 1975

With the East Cork Junior A Football Final taking place tonight, although we are not there after our defeat last week, we thought we’d look back and honour the victorious Carraig na bhFear Junior A Footballers from 1975, who won the clubs one and only East Cork Junior A Football Championship that year. In May of this year, Carraig na bhFear G A A held a Special Event to Celebrate winning a historic double, East Cork Junior A Football Championship and League in 1975; 41 years. This at a time when there were no Senior or Intermediate Football Teams in East Cork. Competition was a little different. The get together though a few months late was a most enjoyable event. Present were. L to R. Front. Don Hegarty[team member, Chairman 2008 to 2012.] Tommy Sheehan, Runai 75, Seamus O’Reilly, Chairman 75 and Eddie Hegarty, Treasurer 75, current club president; Bernard Lynch, Captain 75 Team, Michael O’Keeffe, Selector 75, and Dan J Foley Chairman, 2016. Middle Row. Sean Walsh, Dr Dan Crowley, Liam Crowley, Tom Gallagher, Gearoid Duggan, Dermot O ‘Driscoll.[Club Chairman 2013 -2015] and Noel Miller. Back Row; Michael Mullins, Pat Forde, Dan O’Keeffe, John Carroll, Jack O’Keeffe and William Scanlon. Special tributes were paid to three members of the group who have gone to their eternal reward. They were; team coach Fr Pat Duffy M S C, Micheal Foley and Teddy Duggan. Just two panel members are living abroad and one had another function on the night. During the entire 1975 season the team lost just 1 game the Co final to Bandon, who by a strange coincidence...
