The late Dermot McKenna:  The club extends its sympathies to the family of the late Dermot McKenna, Doaghies, Glaslough, who died suddenly on Friday 13 March. Dermot represented both club and county with distinguished service. He played in Emyvale's half back line in the senior county final in 1986 and also won an Ulster medal with the county team of the mid 1980s. Ar dheis De go raibh a anam uasal.
