Congratulations to Gary & Mary Coyne on the birth of their second born earlier this week. Lilianna joins Freddie which means more sleepless night for Gary, thankfully he is used to them having watched Liverpool all season so it shouldn't come as a massive shock to the system!
Everyone in Cortown is saddened by the passing of Denis Newman. Denny was a larger than life character & one of the most instantly recognisable figures around. Our thoughts are with the Newman family & all of our friends in Kilmainham at this time.
Cortown are thrilled to officially announce the arrival of Davy Dalton as Senior team manager. Dalton, a former All-Star full back with his native Kildare, will hope to help Cortown get back to winning ways in 2021 after a disappointing 2020.
