SYMPATHY: Sincere sympathy is offered to Ger and Brendan Reidy and all the Reidy family on the death of their mother, Joan.
Mrs. Reidy’s house, in the heart of the Rock, was the unofficial headquarters of the Club for many years and even though you will probably not see her name in any Club minutes or reports, she was nonetheless one of the unsung heros of the Club who did alot of unseen work and never seeking any recognition.
Jerseys were washed, flags mended and refreshments provided for the many who held court in her household deliberating on the affairs of the Club down the years.
Sincere sympathy is also offered to the families of Fred Beer, Connolly Park; Michael O’Shea, Casement’s Avenue (grandfather of former Club footballers, Liam and Maurice Carroll); and Kathleen Griffin, Strand Road (mother of former Basketballer, Mervyn) who also died during the past week.
SENIOR FOOTBALL: Round 1 of the Club Championship against Dingle goes ahead in Connolly Park on this Sunday afternoon (3rd May) at 2pm.
