Liam Daly RIP 

The club was saddened to learn of the passing of former player Liam Daly in Dublin last week. Son of the legendary Willie Daly, Liam was a tenacious defender in his own right on the team of the early ‘60s and he was a winner of two Feis Cups back when our club was known as Éire Óg. We extend our deepest sympathy to Liam’s family and friends. Solas na bhFlaitheas air.

Sympathy 

The club extends its’ deepest sympathy to the family and friends of both Rose Reilly (Clonaugh) and Mary Rose Rogers (Murray, formerly of The Mill), who both passed away recently. We were also saddened to learn of the passing of Alex Jones over the weekend. We extend our condolences to Alex’s friends and family and all in Clonguish GAA. Alex was a very popular ticket seller for Clonguish around Drumlish and Ballinamuck over the years and in recent times he became a prolific seller for the Gaels as well. He will be greatly missed by all. Solas na bhFlaitheas orthu.
