RIP: Kilkenny GAA in mourning following passing of local club president
Ar dheis de go raibh a anam
O’Loughlin Gaels members received the sad news of the death of Club President Mick Dooley on Friday last.
Mick had been involved with the club since its formation. He was captain of the club’s first County Junior Championship winning team in 1975.
When his playing career finished Mick was a constant and positive presence around the club working as a volunteer on any project or activity the club undertook and as an encouraging supporter of all our teams. Mick was honoured by the club when he was named as Club President at the Re-Union night for the 1975 team and everyone in O’Loughlin’s was delighted to see him don the green jacket.
The club extends its sincere sympathy to Mick’s wife Brigid, children Nichola, Justin and Dawn and to all of the extended Dooley family. Mick’s role in the establishment of the O’Loughlin’s Club and his contribution over the years will never be forgottn.
Ní bheidh a leithead ann arís.
