The club would like to express our deepest sympathy to the families of Sean Gallagher Strand Road/Belfast and Kieran Campbell, Ballymakenny who passed away recently.  Kieran had a distinguished playing career with the 'Barrs starring as goalkeeper for many years winning the McArdle Cup in 1960 and 1963.  Prior to the formation of Naomh Fionnbarra in 1957, Kieran played with Walshestown Rovers and won the Louth Second Division Championship in 1952 and the Louth Junior Championship in 1953.
