Comhbhrón – It has been a sad week for Achadh ná Síleann especially for our Club with the death of one of our Presidents Sean Gallagher formerly Drumrackin – Sean passed away at Beaumont Hospital on Monday last surrounded by his beloved family and dear friend Fr. Leo. Sean or Seanie as he was known was the towering Centre Half Back on our great Teams in the late 60’s and 70’s – he was part of the Team known as ‘The Emigrants’ as they were all Dublin based and trained in the Phoenix Park – they won Junior and Senior Leagues, Junior Championship but the big prize eluded this great Team – a Senior Championship, they came so close so many times but it wasn’t to be. Unfortunately Seanie got a lot of trouble with his knees but gave it his all, he was a proud Aughnasheelin man and wore the Jersey with pride. Sean has now gone to his eternal home and Im sure there are some great stories being relayed with Sean putting a good twist to them with his favourite saying – ‘Lower them late Lads ‘ , we offer our deepest sympathies to his dear wife Alice, children Alice, Alan, Séan and Leo, his beloved grand children Sean,Conor and Emma, daughter in law Orlaith, to his brothers and sisters – Anna and Christy, Tom and Breda, Josie and Willie, Mary and Michael, Eileen and Paddy, Sr. Rose and Peg, his many nieces and nephews, dear friends and fellow Club people – Ar dheis Dé go raibh a ainm uasal.
