The recent death of Willie O’Sullivan, combined with the passing of Fr. Jimmy Doyle and John Larkin caused widespread sorrow in Coill Dubh and the Parish of Staplestown/ Cooleragh Staplestown. Each in their own way has made special contributions to their community.
Willie, who passed away on November 4, was a stalwart of Coill Dubh hurling and his contribution to the club’s golden years cannot be overstated. He was an underage hurler of note and played in the team that won an under 15 Championship in 1968. He was member of the Kildare U16 team which defeated Down in the 1968 U16 All Ireland B Championship and was a member of the panel which completed a three in a row of U21 titles in 1970.
