Sporting legends fundraise for girl who lost both legs in farm accident
Féile O'Sullivan, from Allihies on the Beara Peninsula, remains in hospital at CHI Crumlin in Dubin, following the life-altering incident in which she suffered severe lower abdominal injuries.
She has undergone around 30 operations and procedures, including the amputation of both legs.
Former Kerry footballer and Munster, Ireland and British and Irish Lions rugby player Mick Galwey is the latest sportsperson to support the fundraiser.
He joins GAA stars, including All-Ireland winning Tipperary hurler Darragh Stakelum, Cork Senior hurler Patrick Horgan and Clare legend Anthony Daly to post videos of their support online.
Féile's club, Garnish GAA, launched the appeal nine days ago with the permission of her family to help raise funds for her rehabilitation in the months and years ahead.
So far, the 'Stand for Féile' challenge has raised almost €447,000.
Garnish GAA Development Officer and Cork County Councillor Councillor Finbarr Harrington says they are overwhelmed by the response to their appeal saying it has been "phenomenal".
"We are a very small club, in a small rural parish of Allihies on the Beara Peninsula, 100 miles from Cork and probably the furthermost pitch from Croke Park.
"The family are so grateful for this. We reached out to other GAA clubs in the Beara Division and further afield and to GAA stars, and they've really rowed in behind the challenge."
A first year student at Beara Community School, Councillor Harrington says Feile was "an unbelievably outgoing girl, loved sports of all kinds from football to horse riding, loved the outdoors.
"This makes it (what has happened) even more difficult for her.
"She is going to face the challenge, but she has a long road ahead of her. The funds won't ease the pain of what has happened but it will take away the financial worry for her mum, Maureen".
As well as the online challenge, fundraising events are also being organized locally from cakes sales to sea-kayaking.
Councillor Harrington says every donation "no matter how big or small will go directly towards Féile's care".

The All-Ireland final was no classic, but new rules meant a big improvement on 2024
The 2024 All-Ireland football final between Armagh and Galway marked a moment in history. The Orchard County won just their second Sam Maguire Cup, their first for over 20 years, but it will likely be remembered for even more significant reasons. As long as the Football Review Committee's (FRC) proposals are ratified by GAA congress later this year, then Armagh-Galway will be the final intercounty game played without the FRC's rule changes that have breathed life back into football this year. The game itself is something of a time capsule – a tense, dreary game, with all the hallmarks of a sport that needed a speedy redraft. This year's final was hardly a classic itself as Kerry blew away Donegal with an early assault that the Ulster champions never recovered from. But a deeper analysis of both of these game shows that there are major signs of improvement in the wider footballing context. For starters, there was a nearly 20 per cent reduction in handpassing in 2025 compared to the previous final. With Galway particularly intent on playing through the hands, the 2024 final saw 593 fist passes, compared to 485 in this year's edition. Highlighting hand-passing's negative impact on games, over two-thirds of those passes went either sideways or backwards in both finals. READ MORE Kerry's last play of the first half came in for some criticism from neutrals after the final this year. The Kingdom held possession for over two minutes, waiting for the hooter to sound before David Clifford blasted a two-pointer over the bar to end the opening period. Although that possession seemed to last forever because of the lack of action, Galway actually kept the ball for longer on two separate occasions in their loss to Armagh. Those long stretches of idle possession would have been high on the list of priorities for the FRC, and things largely seem to have improved this year. The average length of time that possession was held in the final fell by nearly a quarter from last year – from 45 seconds to 34 – although this was down to an increase in shooting and more direct play rather than turnovers and tackling. One huge difference between the two games was in shooting. The contrast is stark – there were 45 shots in the 2024 final, but this was eclipsed by the total of 68 shots this year, an increase of 51 per cent. There was also a massive increase in the number of scores, from 25 to 41, so in this regard, the FRC changes have absolutely added more excitement to the game. There were far more shots in the 2025 final than in the previous year's game, with Kerry in particular targeting two-pointers. Graphic: Paul Scott Kerry managed five two-pointers, targeting the extra point with 14 total attempts, whereas Donegal failed to do likewise, scoring zero from three attempts. All of these came in the second half as they were chasing the game. While other rules have certainly helped create more scoring chances, the introduction of the two-point arc has been critical in the return of long-range scores. One odd detail from the 2024 final is that Paul Conroy likely would have won Galway the All-Ireland if the arc had been established by then, with the midfielder scoring three from the required distance. However, these were the only such scores, and only three more were attempted, while there were 17 shots from 40 metres or more in the 2025 edition. There were far less long-distance shots in the 2024 final, where Galway's Paul Conroy was a clear outlier. Graphic: Paul Scott Disappointingly, there was only the slightest increase in turnovers in the tackle, up one from last year to 11. The number of blocks was doubled from two to four, as was the number of turnovers in one-on-one situations, but these are very marginal gains. Traditionalists will also have been disappointed with the amount of kickpassing in this year's final. There was slightly less kickpassing than in the 2024 final, and the number of foot passes that travelled forward more than 30 yards fell from by three to nine. Kickouts were radically altered by the new rules, with short restarts having to travel beyond the 40-metre arc. This meant that there were massive changes in kickout strategy between the two finals. In 2024, 29 total kickouts went short to a player under little or no pressure – that number fell to just five in 2025. At the other end of the spectrum, 29 kickouts went long this year, over four times more than in the Armagh-Galway final, creating entertaining scraps for possession in midfield. This was crucial, as Kerry's determination to win the breaking ball on kickouts was the platform that their victory was built on. Galway's Paul Conroy and Oisin Conaty of Armagh. Photograph: Laszlo Geczo/Inpho Meanwhile, high fielding doubled from last year, with eight clean catches coming from these kickouts. Joe O'Connor, in particular, gave an exhibition of a skill we have not seen enough of in recent years. Overall, despite the 2025 final not being the most thrilling game we've seen this year, it shows that even an average game under the new rules can be an improvement on last year. While some skills of the game like kickpassing and tackling remained disappointingly minor aspects of the final, there were still significant gains in areas that add entertainment for fans, like shooting and high fielding. There are further changes that could be voted in at GAA congress, but after the best championship in years, there's plenty of reason for delegates to stick to the current rules, and not twist one more time. Regardless, it's almost guaranteed that Armagh's victory over Galway will be the final intercounty game played without some FRC changes. It's certainly a good reminder of why we needed these changes to begin with.

Potential blow for Kerry GAA on the horizon as rising star flies to Australia to negotiate AFL switch
A GAA legend hit out at the AFL for poaching Irish talent UNDER THE RADAR Potential blow for Kerry GAA on the horizon as rising star flies to Australia to negotiate AFL switch ANOTHER rising GAA star could be set for a move to Australia, according to reports. Per the Irish Examiner, Kerry starlet Ben Murphy is set to fly to Australia this week to visit the Brisbane Lions. 2 Ben Murphy, left, could be set for a move to the AFL Credit: Thomas Flinkow/Sportsfile It is believed that the Lions are one of two AFL clubs speaking to the Austin Stacks youngster who helped the Kingdom win the U20 Munster final against Cork last April. He was also named in the 2024 Electric Ireland GAA Minor Star Football Team of the Year. Should he be snapped up by Brisbane, Murphy would be one of a number of Kerry players currently plying their trade Down Under. Cillian Burke joined Geelong last year, with Mark O'Connor a teammate. Meanwhile, Rob Monahan is with Carlton Blues in Melbourne. GAA players making moves to the AFL has been a polarising topic in Ireland, with some complaining about the process by which it takes place. Back in February, Kerry U20 boss Tomás Ó Sé slammed the AFL for poaching young talent. Five-time All-Star Ó Sé does not begrudge any youngster going Down Under but has a dim view of how the Aussie professional outfits go about their business. He said: 'I think it's wrong what's going on. 'I know for a fact that there's an Under-20 player in Kerry being rung by coaches from an Australian club telling him how he did in matches after watching him. Inside Sharlene Mawdsley's 'delicious' yet atypical Tenerife holiday with GAA star boyfriend Mikey Breen 'And if it was a professional . . . I don't know what the rules are. "If it was soccer or rugby I don't think they'd be allowed to do that when the fella is doing his Leaving Cert. 'Don't get me wrong, fellas think I'm completely against going out. "If the offer is there, I'd wish him all the best and I'd always wish him all the best and I hope there's success out there and it's brilliant. 'But as a Kerry man, I hate the way it's done. 'I just hate the way there's 15 years going into a young fella and it's just, 'Oh yeah, we'll have that fella there and we'll shoot off'.' The previous December, former Kerry and AFL star Tommy Walsh urged the GAA to be proactive in tackling the issue. Speaking on The Mike Quirke Podcast, Walsh made it clear that he doesn't want to stop players from leaving or deny them the opportunity - but would like to incentivise them to stay. 'AGGRESSIVE' Walsh told former Kerry player and selector Quirke that the AFL issue 'isn't going away' because the recruitment rules around international players are favourable. He said: "I think it's going to be a really difficult one to get your head around and to try to see any change in the numbers that are going over. They're a very aggressive organisation. "They want to grow and Ireland is a market for them. So, as I said, it isn't going away. It is something that's probably going to get bigger. "It's up to the GAA, nationally and locally, they need to get in front of it and to put something together so that at least if they do come to a guy, that we already have him down a particular path possibly before they even get to them. "From a player's point of view, it's great because their conditions are going to improve, if you are one of those guys. "And if you never end up going to Australia, this Australian problem we'll call it, has improved your life here. So it may well be a good thing for player welfare going forward."

Pat Spillane blasts major GAA decision as an 'embarrassment' and an 'insult'
Pat Spillane, in his thoughts on the 2025 season, has called the GAA's decision to host the jubilee team celebrations before the All-Ireland finals an 'embarrassment' and an 'insult'. The Kerry legend is still involved in the media . He wrote a typically entertaining column in the Sunday World and voiced his opinion on several issues. Among them was the jubilee team celebration. Each year, the winning All-Ireland team from 25 years ago is invited to Croke Park to celebrate their achievement. However, the GAA has changed the running order in recent years, with the jubilee team now presented to the crowd before the game rather than at half-time. "Having the presentation of the jubilee team in front of a couple of thousand people is an embarrassment and an insult," Spillane wrote in his column. He also criticised the organisation for their pre-final entertainment, saying the NFL will pull out all the stops for their game in Dublin this September. "America's NFL will be here in a couple of months. They're going to take over Dublin for the week. They're going to have street parties. They're going to have fan zones. They're going to have marching bands. They're going to have a festival of American football in Dublin for the week," he wrote. "Surely to God, when it comes to the All-Ireland senior football final and the All-Ireland senior hurling final, the GAA could up its game? Instead, it's a box-ticking exercise. They're going through the motions." The decision to change the jubilee presentation pre-match has drawn criticism in some quarters, with Offaly requesting that their 1998 team be presented at half-time. Kilkenny were honoured before this year's final, and the ceremony made headlines after DJ Carey's name was booed pre-match. Carey's name was met with jeers and boos from the crowd as it was read out under an hour before throw-in. The Croke Park stadium announcer said of the nine-time All-Star winner: "Full forward DJ Carey from the Young Irelands. He scored 1-4 on the day, claiming his third All-Ireland of five in total and he would end the year with the eighth of his nine All-Star awards. DJ is not with us today." The five-time All-Ireland winner recently pleaded guilty to 10 counts of defrauding a number of people out of money while pretending he had cancer.
