RICHARD O’Regan’s role in promoting Bandon AFC and Bandon town has been hailed as ‘pretty extraordinary’ by one of its most famous sons, Conor Hourihane.
The 2019 West Cork Sports Star of the Year, who is manager of League One club Barnsley in England, sent a surprise video message to O’Regan, as he received the Special Achievement Award last weekend.
‘Big, big congrats on your award,’ Hourihane said.

‘The work that you do every single day and over the years, for the town, community and Bandon football club is pretty extraordinary. This award is fully deserved, and I am delighted that you are getting the recognition that you deserve.
‘I am so proud of you – you have done so much work over the years for everyone, and have never put yourself first, it’s always others first.’
