DONIE O'SULLIVAN BOOK LAUNCH 
Spa and Kerry footballing legend Donie O'Sullivan will be launching his autobiography - Donie O'Sullivan: A Footballer, Once - on Friday December 2nd 2022. Donie, along with Hero Books publishers, would like to extend an invite to everyone to come and join them on the night.

The launch will take place at the Spa GAA Clubhouse, Tullig, Killarney V93 KN53 at 7.30pm with special guests on the night.

Refreshments will be served. 

The autobiography, by Donie O'Sullivan with Jimmy O'Sullivan Darcy, will be on sale in Spa on the night but, as it is so close to Christmas, it will not be available in local bookstores for now. After the launch, it will be on sale only on Amazon, where it is available as an ebook, paperback and hardback.

Everyone is invited to join us on the night for a celebration of Donie, his footballing career and his lasting legacy with Kerry GAA and Spa GAA.

We hope to see you there!
