MC on the night Peter Fleming saw to it that everything ran smoothly and applauded all players, coaches and all who contributed to the success of the clubs. The success of the Ibane amalgamation has been and continues to be of huge benefit to both clubs and players, with six players lining out for Cork over the last few years:

  • Jack Lawton & Ryan O’Donovan (2019 All Ireland Champions)
  • Olan O’Donovan (2022 Munster Champion)
  • Darragh Holland lined out for Cork U20s in 2021

The respective chairpersons of Ibane Gaels and Ibane Ladies, Norman & Tracey Fleming spoke and wished their clubs many more years of success. A fantastic night to celebrate the success of both clubs. These events don't happen without a huge amount of effort so sincere thanks to the organising committee and Fernhill House Hotel for putting on another superb event.
