A huge gap has been left in our club but to do Johns memory the justice it deserves we will regroup and get all club activities up and going again this week and strive to continue to make this a club to make John proud.

Our thoughts, prayers and continued support are with Mags, Niamh and Sean; Johns parents Noel & Rosaleen, his brothers and sisters and all John’s extended family.
