Website Information Night The County IT Committee recently hosted an

information evening on the new GAA Club website template, aimed at those clubs who have websites on

the old gaa.ie server, which will be shut down on

December 20th. Perhaps the most important point made

on the night was that these clubs need to secure the information they have on their existing sites, either by

copying and storing it or getting it up on a new

website. To download a copy of the Training Manual for

GAA Websites, see the Downloads link on www.gaacork.ie

DJ Linehan, John Tarrant and Diarmuid Gowen at the Information

Evening

96FM C103 Sports Award – Diarmuid O’Sullivan

Though best known for his exploits as a Cork hurler

until his retirement in 2009, Cloyne’s Diarmuid

O’Sullivan was recently named the 96FM C103 Sports

Award recipient for October in recognition of his efforts in helping his club to a County Junior A Football title for

the first time in their history. The event was attended

by Diarmuid’s family and friends, as well as officers of

the East Cork and County Boards, including his father,

County Chairman Jerry O’Sullivan.
