Club games, the Club Development Draw Introductory Evenings and the Gerard Quinn cup were cancelled at the weekend past following the passing of Mary Cushnahan on 25 Sept. Mary, husband to Honorary President Hughie Cushnahan and mother of playing member Bronagh and ex playing members Kevin, Enda and Damien as well grandmother to current Cushnahan and Carney players was an integral part of the fabric of our club. Over the years Mary helped manage and organise the Lotto, the washing of Jerseys, the making of food and supported the club at our games and many of our functions, events and fundraisers. Sympathies are extended to the Cushnanhan and Campbell families. Sympathies are also extended to the Hughes family Aughamullan following the passing of Tommy. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a n-anam.
