Juvenile Celebration Friday Jan 23rd at 8pm – ALL INVITED oloughlingaels.gaa.ie In addition to celebrating the achievements of our juvenile teams in 2014 we are also honouring one of our greats - Brian Hogan who this year retired from inter county hurling after an illustrious career playing a vital part of what has been the greatest era for Kilkenny GAA. Brian Hogan is the third of the nights recipients. To describe Brian Hogan as a club stalwart is an understatement. Brian Hogan is an O’Loughlin Gaels legend. A colossus by any standards Brian led teams by his own actions. A leader of men and a director of operations in defence. For his county he won 8 Leinster SHCs, 7 All-Ireland SHC’s, 6 National Hurling Leagues, 4 Walsh Cups, 2 All-star awards and had the honour of climbing the famous Hogan Stand steps on All-Ireland Sunday as Kilkenny captain in 2011. He won an All-Ireland Colleges title with St. Kierans College in 2000. For O’Loughlin Gaels he has won 3 County SHC, 2 Club SHC Leinster titles, 1 County SHLeague and an u14 championship ….so far!! Who will ever forget the day the Richter scale leaped sending geologists into a frenzy, as Nowlan Park shuddered when he met county comrade J Tyrell with a seismic shoulder. (Rumour has it that JT had to have his shoulder blade removed from his clavicle at half time that day!). So be there on Friday Night for this perfect opportunity to show your appreciation for Brian ALL ARE INVITED 8pm at O’Loughlin Gaels GAA Club on Friday, January 23rd.
