Great sadness in south and west Tipperary with passing of former brilliant hurler

SYMPATHY

Cahir GAA Club would like to express sincere sympathy to the family of Ned Lonergan from Cashel who died during the week. Ned was a brilliant hurler with Cahir’s Wild Rovers hurling team in the 1950s.

Quoting from the Munster Tribune of Friday 25 November 1955; ‘The outstanding man on the winning team was Ned Lonergan, who notched 1-1 in the first half and his great efforts in the second half gave the necessary incentives to his team mates to go all out to gain victory. That was the Marlfield Cup final when the Wild Rovers defeated Marlfield led by the great Theo English.

Ned was also involved in acquiring Cahir GAA field which is a brilliant amenity in the centre of town.

The Draw the Joker was held in The Hill on Sunday night. The Jackpot was not won. Anne Queeney won €100.00, Gerard Doran & Trisha Flannery won €50 each, Ann Corbett won €30 and Roisin Casey won €20. The jackpot is now €6,200 and the next draw is on this Thursday night December 22 in No. 22 The Abbey with the following Draw also being on Thursday night December 29 in Morrissey’s. Thanks to everyone for your support.
