Micky Moran was named Southern Gaels 'Club Person of the Year' during the recent hosting of the AGM.
A former juvenile player with the club, MIcky is now heavily involved with juvenile training. With Southern Gaels entering camogie teams at competitive level this year he has become one of the main mentors with the club's camogie players. He coached the girls on Tuesdays and Fridays and they participated in a number of go games blitz competitions and challenges during the year. His hard work has paid huge dividends and camogie is now firmly established in the club with large numbers of young girls attending training and playing with the club. Micky also has a keen interest in the Irish language and is currently the club Oifigeach Gaeilge (Irish Language Officer ).
