The recent sudden death of Seán Byrne has devastated his family and friends. We hope and pray that they will find the strength and courage to get through the days ahead.
We thank all those who supported our Club this week.This includes those senior & underage players, Club members and friends who helped in whatever way they could to show the Byrne family the huge respect we as a Club had for Seán. This applies also to the many former players and other hurling clubs who contacted us from far and wide expressing their sadness.
We extend a míle buíochas to those Schools who cooperated with our young hurlers allowing them time off to attend Seáns funeral, The Caretakers Of St Pauls High School for providing traffic management gear, the Armagh GAA County Board, P J Boyle, the local Council for its practical help and Jim Toner, Daniel Mallon and all the Businesses at the Mill Yard for the use of the Car Parking spaces.
Seán was a cornerstone of Craobh Rua. He was a true example of what all is good about our Association, Club and community. He went about his affairs diligently and quietly, we in Craobh Rua will carry that example in our hearts and minds as we go forward together. Ar Aghaidh Linn Le Chéile.
