World Olympic Champion Brendan O’Sullivan Receives Magnificent Welcome at “Bush Bar”, Millstreet on Saturday Night
Hugely popular Hero, World Olympic Champion, Brendan O’Sullivan pictured with his very happy parents, Margaret and Tom of Rathduane in the parish of Millstreet. How very proud Brendan’s parents must be of a son who so magnificently represented Ireland at world level gaining a highly prestigious World Olympic Medal in Floorball – a sport which only featured at world level for the very first time in Korea. In upper picture we view just some of the great gathering of relatives, friends and supporters who truly surprised Brendan when he arrived in the Bush Bar at 9.45 pm. We’ve lots more pictures to feature later. We thank Humphrey Hickey (of the “Bush Bar”) for alerting us in time to meet with Brendan. We also recorded an interview with the World Olympic Hero for later transmission on LTV2.Click on the pictures to enlarge. (S.R.)

Brendan O Sullivan
From Rathduane in Ballydaly Brendan Sullivan for Ireland is flying the flag
An Olympic bronze medal for floorball is surely worthy of a brag
A son of Margaret and Tom and of the late Jerome the Yank a grandson
The first in Duhallow an Olympic medal in floorball to have won
One not found to be wanting when put to the test
With success he competed against the World’s best
In the prime of his life and full of youthful elan
The dashing young Brendan is a mighty man
In Humphrey Hickey’s Bush Bar in Millstreet Town
A huge celebration for the man who knows of the feel of renown
For Brendan the plaudits were many and the applause was loud
His mum and his dad of him must feel so proud
On behalf of LTV and the Millstreet Website
Sean Radley was there for to report of and to write
Of the young man from Ballydaly who wears the mantle of fame
As a hero for Ireland in the World Floorball game
Since in sports his has become quite a famous name
Life for young Brendan O Sullivan will never again be the same
In future years a sporting memory from February 2013 for Duhallow sports fans to recall
Of one of their own a hero of the World game of Floorball.
