CONDOLENCES

All in De La Salle GAA and Camogie Club are deeply saddened to hear of the recent passing of Mary Dalton, Cill Dara, The Folly. Mary was wife of our Club President and longest living club member Noel Dalton and mother of former players Jim, Noel, Michael and Eamonn. Mary who was a proud Kildare woman was one of those often unseen but vital supporters and workers for our club. Down through the years she washed many sets of jerseys, helped cater for many teams and more importantly gave her husband and children the encouragement and support to make them all outstanding De La Salle players, administrators and members. To Mary's husband Noel, children Jim, Fiona, Noel Michael, Eamonn, Yvonne, Emer, Mary and her extended family we extend our deepest sympathy at this sad challenging time.
