These Whitethorn boys weren't so green after all: three months into their
first ever season, the rookies from the Douglas Road picked up the Murphy's
Stout AUL team of the Month Award for November. That was presented last week
at the Lion's Den, home of their top supporter Bill Flanagan.
The Whitethorn handle comes from the fact the "eighty per cent" of the squad
live in the estate of that name. They were founded in 1992 and, after a
series of friendlies, decided to enter the AUL this season. They didn't get
off to the best of starts in League 3A but are now impressing in all
competitions.
Chairman, and top scorer, is Neil O'Donovan. Eddie Thornhill is secretary,
Tony Creagh is treasurer, and the other committee members are Finbarr Hogan,
Charlie Thornhill, Aidan O'Neill, and Darren Kearney.
All the committee men are available to manager Christy O'Donovan and the rest
of the panel is: Stephen Murphy, Denis O'Donovan, Tom O'Brien, Patsy Lyons,
the Meehan brothers (Paudie, Liam, and Christy), Don O'Neill (the most
experienced player in what is a quite a young side), Abdul Kamara, Peter
Coughlan, James Martin, John Drennan, Denis Kenneally, Liam O'Neill, and John
O'Mahony (captain).
