“Bernard was a member of the great footballing dynasty from Shepperton, The Collins Family. “He was part of the first Castlehaven team to play in a Senior County Final in 1979. Bernard retired from playing in the early '80s and as he had a great knowledge of football, he gave his time as a senior selector for Castlehaven. He was always passionately following the Castlehaven and Cork teams. He will be greatly missed by his family , friends neighbours and teammates.
