CONDOLENCES
Sadly, we had two recent bereavements in our Club. Pat O Brien, grandfather of Mikey Costigan recently passed away and we extend the deepest sympathies of us all here in the Club. Pat was always a familiar face on the sideline at almost every match, over the years, with his little notebook. He was well known for his accurate score keeping and kind nature. Ar Dheis De go raibh a anam.
It is also with deepest sympathy we extend our condolences to John Jacob & the Keane family of the recent passing of Maria Jacob, grandmother of Conor, Darragh & Alex Keane. John sat on Juvenile committees & also played senior hurling for the Club & our thoughts are with him & all the family at this sad challenging time as we remember Maria.
Ar Dheis De go raibh a hanam.
