Ballinamore Sean O'Heslin's would like to pass on their deepest sympathies to Lily, Dermot, Damien, Francis, Michelle, Aileen, Una, Padraig and all the extended family and friends of Frank O'Brien who passed away on Monday afternoon. Frank was a great lover of all sports most notably boxing which he followed with a passion, travelling the world to see some of Ireland's greats and despite his illness he was recently in Belfast to follow his love of the sport. Many's a Sean O'Heslin's player has stepped out wearing a pair of football boots purchased from Frank and fitted by Spike, and I'm sure if you all look in your trophy cabinets there'll be a medal or trophy supplied by Frank O'Brien sport. Over the years Frank has been a great supporter of Sean O'Heslin's club and weekly lotto draw. Frank was one of the great characters of the town and will be missed by all who knew him.
