GAA NEWS: SYMPATHY – Kilmoyley hurling club wishes to express its sympathy to the family and relatives of Michael Treacy who died at the weekend.  Michael held the position of vice-president of our club.  Michael played hurling with Kilmoyley from the mid-forties.  He played in goals for Kilmoyley in 1955 v Ballyduff in the county senior hurling championship.  He then went to London where he played with St Finbarr’s Tipperary whom he won a senior title with and in 1965 he won an Intermediate title for the Kingdom. 

Michael returned to Kilmoyley in the late sixties and he made a come-back in 1970 when Kilmoyley won the NK Intermediate title.  Later that year he won his cherished County Championship medal when he played full forward for Kilmoyley with victory over Killarney at 40 years of age. 

Michael continued to follow Kilmoyley and Kerry up to his death and was a dedicated supporter.  Ar dheis de go raibh anam.
