Sympathy 

Rhode GAA express our Deepest Sympathy to the Swaine family on the passing of Kathleen Swaine BallyBryan. 

Kathleen will be sadly missed by all who knew her especially her loving family husband Liam, daughters  Geraldine, Tina and Audrey, sons Liam, Owen and Brian, grandchildren,  great grandchildren, brothers, sister, sons-in-law, daughters-in-law, , brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, nieces, nephews, relative's and friends.

For Over 20 years Kathleen kept our under-age and Adult teams jersey's immaculate and often time's the same set might be used more than once over a weekend but Kathleen got the job done and never once let a team down.It was only fitting that a Rhode Jersey was draped on her coffin as she made her final journey.  Every Adult player in the last 20 years or more would have been been trained by Liam Swaine at under-age along side Martin Heavy and both men can be credited  with playing a massive part in the successes the club has had in recent years. 

May Kathleen Rest In Peace
