Shared note | Worked in family construction firm, was director until deathin 1946 |
Note | Very distinguished Rugby player for Garryowen, Munster and was a final Irish triallist.
Played in all positions except scrum-half.
In one Munster Cup match against UCC, his future brother in law, Willie Linehan, was in the pack for UCC.
The details:
Played junior for Young Munster
Captained Garryowen in seasons 1911-12 and 1913
Played for Munster numerous times
Won the Munster cup 5 Times
1908 Full Back
1909 Full Back
1911 Out Half
1914 Full Back
"O'Sullivan, at full for Garryowen, was as cool
as a cucumber; he fielded beautifully and
never failed to find touch"
1920 Full Back
"This (penalty) was taken by F O'Sullivan
and, though the only touch judge who was behind
the goal put up his flag for a goal, the referee
decided against him and no score was allowed"
(Did this incident give rise to the regular advice
he gave to his sporting sons that it would be wise
to assume that all refs are blind and stupid ?)
??? Final Irish triallist
Felt that he missed out on his cap, due to lack
of training, arising from the dispute between the
Gaarryowen committee and the players which saw
the latter locked out of the "Markets Field -
Garryowen's ground at the time.
President of the Munster Branch
Much sought after referee
Reffed final Irish trial
Golfer of note
Ex captain of Limerick Golf Club
Letter to the Irish Field (Dec 15th 1913)
Picking the Irish team - some suggestions
" And now for a few words as to the material at hand for this
season's internationals. For the position of full back,
neither Dr.Young (injured) nor Frank O'Sullivan (at
loggerheads with Garryowen) will be available…"…
