PJ O'Brien's is proud to be a Official Sponsor of Cormac McAnallen's GAC
Cormac McAnallen's GAC was founded in January 2005. As the name suggests, the Club was formed in memory of the late Tyrone senior football captain. At only 24 years was elected captain of the Tyrone senior team. The team had just won the Sam McGuire Cup in 2003 for the first time. As many would know in Gaelic Circles, Cormac was from Eglish, Co.Tyrone and was a dedicated athlete, aspiring scholar, fluent Gaelic speaker and debater and school teacher. He was the essense of a natural born leader. His tragic death stunned his family, close friends, everyone in Tyrone and indeed the world of GAA. The cause of death was a rare heart defect.
Cormans family have committed a great deal of work towards research into this condition and raising awareness and funds for the installation of defribillators in GAA and other sports clubs throughout Ireland.
The Club hopes to assist the family where possible in increasing awareness of this condition, honour Cormacs name in a dignified and positive way and help promote the spirit and growth of Gaelic games overseas.
