A ceremony of last light took place on 31st December 1999 at Dursey Sound to commemorate the dawn of the new millenium. Whilst 1997 might have been the most successful in living memory for the club and the division, Garnish has continued to have success over the past twenty years. Emigration and rural depopulation has always been an existential challenge for Garnish, the furthest club in Ireland from Croke Park but a strong club tradition and sense of meitheal has kept the green and gold flag of Garnish GAA flying. Áine Terry O’Sullivan, on the Cork Ladies, is the current stand-out player but her brothers, Brian and Sean, have also represented Cork.
