Pat McCarthy RIP
The late Pat McCarthy, Coolnamona won a North juvenile (U15) medal in 1951 when MacDonaghs had a victory over Moneygall in Borrisokane. In 1960 he added North and County junior hurling medals with Kilruane getting the better of Ballinahinch in the divisional final and overcoming Moycarkey-Borris in the County decider in Borrisoleigh to become Tipperary champions.
The McCarthy family has made a major contribution to hurling in the parish. Pat’s father Hugh was an outstanding hurler in the 1920s. Pat’s brothers Gerry and Joe won North senior hurling medals in 1959 and 1965 with Gerry captaining the 1959 side. Joe is one of our honorary vice-presidents.
At the funeral club members formed a guard of honour and the coffin was draped in the MacDonaghs colours. As a mark of respect the Tricolour in MacDonagh Park flew at half mast.
To his brothers John, Joe, Gerry & Fr. Michael, sister-in-law Dympna and extended family sympathy is extended.
Sympathy
The club extends sympathy to the family of the late Mary O’Meara (née Kennedy), Cloughkeating.
