It was a sad week for the Club, on hearing of the passing of Micheál Higgins, Cloongrehan, Cootehall. Micheál was the Club's Referee for many years and while not a popular job, Micheál was always fair in his decisions and let the game flow. The Club extends its condolences to his wife; Ann, sons; Martin, Noel and Gabriel ( Club Player), daughter; Teresa, son in law; John, brothers; Sean, Hubert, Brendan and Peter, sister; Kathleen and his large family, relatives and his many friends. The Club also extends its condolences to Childrens Officer; Mary Kearns and family, on the death of her father, Jack Gildea, Derrynine and also to his son Sean and family and to his other daughter Martina and family and to his relatives and his many friends. May they both rest in peace.
