Paul also made himself available to coach underage teams over the years.

Paul's efforts and commitment to training were legendary and was a great example to his teammates and aspiring young players in the club.

"We are very hopeful that he will overcome injuries and return to the fold this year after he enjoys a great honeymoon," the club stated.

Barbara is the daughter of Tommy and Teresa Donlon (nee Mulfaul, Knockmartin, Longford) and Paul is the son of PJ and Ann McGee (Nee McCann, Coonaugh, Drumlish).

Barbara is a highly respected teacher in St Joseph's Primary School, Longford. While Paul is an ICT Engineer with CBRE in Athlone.

Wishing Barbara and Paul a very long and a very happy life together as they set up their new home in Kenagh.
