'Gooch' comes to visit
Kerry footballing superstar Colm 'Gooch' Cooper came to visit Ferns NS in November, thanks to his AIB colleague Geraldine Murphy, who had a hand in helping to arrange a tour he was making of schools in the south-east. All the young sportspeople at the school enjoyed the opportunity to see such a top sportsman in the flesh - while the oldest man to meet him there, school caretaker Jack Byrne, told 'Gooch' that good as he may be, he's not a patch on the great Cavan star of the 1940s and 50s, Peter Donohoe!
