Clifford Special Edition Jersey still available here https://6f06fc-2.myshopify.com/ In April of 1998 Club President and former Parish Priest the late Fr.

Fossa GAA Club was founded on the 11th of January 1970 under the Chairmanship of the late Michael O’Connor with Fr.Patrick Browne as President, Vice Chairman Jer Buckley, Secretary Gene Moriarty, Treasurer the late Danny Coffey and Committee members Pat Sweeney, Richard Williams, Brendan Lynch, Dermot Brosnan, John Geaney, Mick Spillane, Tom Long and Michael Collins. It is due to their action, courage, foresight and especially their commitment to the GAA that the Red and Black of Fossa was established and grew to the strong and healthy club it is today. The club leased a field from the Liebherr Firm in 1972 and the following year fielded its first senior team in the East Kerry League and Championship and in Division 4 of the County League. In the early 1990’s the club decided to purchase their own land at Gortroe in the Eastern part of the parish for the sum of £110,000 (€139,671) from the Southern Health Board. After many fundraising events including a Car Raffle, Club Person of the Year Competition, Race Nights and the Lotto Draw the club cleared the Field debt and proceeded to plan the development. James Galvin turned the sod to mark the start of the field development at Gortroe. The Club Chairman Brendan O’Sullivan, Committee and club members gathered for this historic moment in the Club’s History. The first stage of the development at Gortroe was completed by contractor Patrick Finn, Kilcummin under the supervision of Michael O’Shea Ballyferriter in 1999. The year 2000 was marked as a special year by our President the late Fr.James Galvin blessing our new fields at Gortroe on August 13th. All club teams played that day with the high point being a win by our senior team against Kilgarvan in the Kerry County League. Young Padraig O’Sullivan (Curragh) made his own bit of history by scoring the first point for Fossa in the new grounds. The club has a bright future with a marvelous underage structure in place and we hope to build on their success on the field on play.

East Kerry Minor Championship
Unfortunately our minor team came up short in the Div 3 final of the East Kerry Championship against Cordal in Kilcummin this afternoon. Played in dreadful weather conditions, it was always going to be a tough assignment and Cordal were able to manage the conditions that bit better. Fossa started well with Fionn Doyle breaking forward to score a fine individual goal after three minutes. Cordal pulled it back to a one point game before Fossa extended their lead with some great scores from Fionn Doyle, James O’Meara and Harry O’Connor to lead 1-4 to 0-2 by the 23rd minute. Cordal then hit a purple patch and struck for two brilliant two pointers from their midfielder, Cian Cahill, Harry O’Connor pulled one back for Fossa but two points from Ronan O’Connor had it all square at the break, 1-5 to 0-8.
As conditions worsened in the second half, Cordal took control of the game and pinned Fossa back in their own half for long periods of the game. It was real backs to the wall stuff, we saw some great goalkeeping by Dara Whelton who was rock solid in goal and sterling defending by the back line as a whole, led by Jack Spillane and Fionn Doyle but unfortunately Fossa just couldn’t get that score to bring them back into the game. Cordal kicked on and ran out winners on a scoreline of 0-15 to 1-5.
Team; Dara Whelton, Luke McCann, Jack Spillane, Derek O’Gorman, Conor O’Mahony, Fionn Doyle 1-2, Eoin Bennett, Jack Hallissey (Capt), Charlie Griffin, Shea Driver, Shay McCormick, Luke Clancy, Harry O’Connor 0-2, Sam Clerkin, James O’Meara 0-1, Donnacha Vaughan, Oisin Cryan, Johnnie Myers.
