BEREAVEMENTS

Kilmoyley lost two parishioners this week. Sympathies are extended to the Lawlor family, Ballymacquinn. Diarmuid Lawlor served in the FCA for many years and was Vice President of Kilmoyley hurling club, playing both hurling and football for Kilmoyley, and remained an active club member and supporter. Diarmuid was honoured in 2017 by the Ballyheigue race committee for 61 years of service.

Sympathies are extended to the O’Connor family of Banemore on the passing of TP O’Connor, whose children played hurling and camogie with Kilmoyley and his grandchildren are now playing with the club.
