Garry O'Sullivan Memorial Drag Hunts @ Creedons top of Coom 24/05/15

14TH JUNE 1939-6TH NOVEMBER 2002

This year is the 12th running of the Garry O'Sullivan memorial drag-hunt & this year it moves to a new course in Coom on the Cork Kerry/border, the four grades will be run over as what can only be described as typical fell running very similar to the English courses in Cumbria.

It is one of my favourite  drag hunts of the year & a drag meeting that all trainers will want to win.

Garry had given over 50 years of service to a sport that he loved & his wife Brenda who has been around hounds all her life & still is today will be hoping for a good turn out & some cracking drag hunts for her late husbands 12th memorial Drag Hunt  @ Creedons bar top of coom.

Garry held many positions within the CCCHA over the years, chairman, public relations officer & secretary of Northern Hunt, Garry was also a huntsman for Northern Hunt.

Over the years Garry built up a great rapport with the farming community to which was a benefit to the C,C,C,H,A adding new courses to the drag hunting calendar , Ballynoe, Rylan, Clare castle, Ballinagree & Rathduff the venue for his own memorial drag over the last few years to name a few.

Garry was 2nd generation into drag hunting following in the foot steps of his father jackie & uncle florry who along with a few others were the founder members of northern hunt in 1925, 

Garry's children , Gary & Martina 3rd generation, along with grandson Adam 4th generation (vice chairman ) & nephew john & niece Janet are all actively involved in the sport today, with Adams son Isaac sure to follow in the drag-hunting tradition of the 0'Sullivan family.

O'SULLIVAN FAMILY & FRIENDS

Garry had his share of success in the sport along with his brother Sean O'Sullivan winning 6 internationals in various grades over the years & twice runner up in the All Ireland.

His son Gary & grandson Adam had their big day in 2008 landing the Senior All Ireland with Black & Tan & only this month Garry's daughter Martina & son in law Don had their big day in drag hunting winning the Senior Puppy International in Rathduff with their hound Max Lad.

To which i'm sure put a big smile on garry's face .

Cups & Trophies & hounds 

Garry was also very popular over in Cumbria and travelled with his wife frequently over a 20 year period building great friend ships with the late Birkett Lawson , George & Joe Lawson & Edward & Lena Gibson.

There is always a good turn out of hounds for this drag hunt & many trainers will be looking to land one of the grades on sunday, for those that were fortunate enough to have known Garry will know that he was a man with great charisma and a sense of humour and loved his sport of drag hunting with a passion.
