Reeling in the Years

Saturday 24th October 2026 will live long in the memory of Bunbrosna Gaels and go down as one of our greatest nights in the clubs history. 

We were treated to an array of talented performances, insightful panel discussions and a trip down memory lane of some of the greatest achievements of our Club over the last 125 Years. Clare Moran & Joe Scally, as MCs, led the large crowd throughout the night.

Cian Murphy kicked off the night with a rendition of his poem on Bun. This was followed by a panel discussion  with some of our greatest club people. Dolores McCormack, Jimmy McCormack, John Tormey & Jimmy Finnan provided some great entertainment and stories of our past and what the club means to them. 

Our Junior Musicians and Set Dancers put on a lively performance to get the crowd going. Micheal Molloy had the crowd in raptures of laughter with his recitation and continued the laughter when he joined Kenny Murphy, Susan Eades and Emma McCormack for a Scór panel. Some stories we were informed couldn’t be told but everyone was left in no doubt as to the impact taking to the stage has made on so many peoples lives in the area. 

For a small club, we have had tremendous success in Scór with several All Ireland Titles in Set Dancing and Recitation. The panel encouraged all the young people in attendance to get involved and pointed to the great friendships they have made as a result.

Our Ballad Group then led us into the interval before Eddie Newman resumed proceedings with an early history of Bunbrosna from the late 1800s to early 1900s. Fiona Cawley then performed one of the late, great, Christy Duffy’s poems before we had another panel discussion with some of the Junior Winning Team from 2001.

Manager of that team, John Mulligan, was joined by Tommy Murphy, John McCormack and Paddy Wallace. The panel reminisced on some great stories from that winning campaign, from the gruelling training sessions to the equally exhausting social scene to Paddy Wallace’s infamous kit bag sponsorship deal with a local supermarket!!

Some more music followed from our Instrumental artists before Avril Whitney gave us a performance of her All Ireland Winning performance of ‘Poor Barney’.

Our final panel of the night was focused on the future direction and plans of the Club. Orla Foy, Eoin Clarke, Aidan Finnan and Conor Newman spoke of resurgence of the underage structures and the amount of young people involved with the club at underage level. They pointed to the developments of the Playground, Astro Pitch and Ball Wall as being significant facilities to cater for our growing numbers and pointed to the future plans in place.

The final act of the night was left to our All Ireland Winning Set Dancers. They closed out the night with a lively performance that was the perfect end to a brilliant night for the club.

Our sincere thanks must go to all involved in bringing this night to reality. Months of preparation went on behind the scenes to get the night ready and the level of detail involved in retracing our steps led to a quite brilliant visual display of the clubs many achievements over the years. We are indebted to their efforts and it led to a fantastic night of celebration.
