A Reunion of Members of the Sixmilebridge 1984 Hurling Heroes senior hurling panel, winners of the club's first ever Munster Club title, will gather in Jack Gleeson's next Sunday evening to commemorate that historic triumph and take a nostalgic trip down memory lane.
Captained by Sean Stack, Sixmilebridge beat a star-studded St Finbar's side from Cork in Páirc Ui Chaoimh in the semi-final before defeating the Limerick champions, Patrickswell who were backboned by the Punch, Bennis and Foley clans, to lift the provincial title for the first time in Sixmilebridges history. The Bridge bowed out in the All-Ireland semi-final stage when going under to Castlegar, with five Connolly brothers in their ranks, in Pearse Stadium Salthill.
Forty years on from that famous 4-10 to 2-6 win in Semple Stadium, the players will gather to relive and reminisce of those halcyon days, meeting up from 5pm on Sunday evening.
The panel included Sean Stack, Pat Collins, Jamesy Keogh, Noel O'Gorman, Kieran O'Shea, Martin Corry, Seamus Cusack, Pat Morey, Flan Quilligan, John O'Connell, Jim Fawl, Tommy Morey (RIP), Gerry Meehan, Danny Chaplin, Gerry McInerney, John Brennan, John Chaplin, Brian McNamara, Paddy Meehan, James Mulready (RIP), Eamonn Healy, PJ Fitzpatrick, John Lynch, Brendan Flynn, Pat Chaplin
