Seamus Granaghan, known more popularly throughout his GAA playing career as Seamie will be entered into Bundoran GAA Hall of Fame officially on Friday 21st of Nov at the Club’s Dinner dance
And when you look at his sporting resume all you can say is ‘Why did it take so long?
The list of his sporting achievements make it difficult to know where to start. A long and distinguished career in club football started with St Josephs and finished with Bundoran
He possesses 7 senior championship medals with St Josephs and 1 with Bundoran.
Honours also include medals in intermediate championship, juvenile championship and a hurling award when playing with Erne Valley.
That list of awards would look impressive on any C.V but we have not even mentioned his county and provincial achievements yet.
Seamie has 2 Ulster Championship medals with Donegal, 3 Lagan Cup medals and 1 McKenna Cup medal
Throw in a Railway Cup appearance, 3 Ulster Club Championship medals, an All-Ireland Club medal with St Joseph’s, and an Ulster Championship Junior hurling medal. Oh! Just one more thing he played for Donegal from 1965 until 1972.
All this demanded great skill and especially great determination and Seamus had it in spades. Seamus is a great personality and has great memories of the people he met through football and is the first to say that his great success stemmed from the great support he got from his family and his work colleagues at the time. There were many times when his work colleagues stood in for him on the milk run so that he could pursue this continued onslaught of success on the playing fields of Ireland.
So it is only fitting that his wife Joan and five daughters Julie, Jacqueline, Elaine, Leslie and Colleen will have the opportunity to see him receive a most deserved award in The Great Northern Hotel on Friday 21st November.
