Remembering Tim

Thursday 31st August, 2017



Remembering TimIt is hard to believe that it is a year since we lost our brother, Tim Ross.One year on it still makes no sense and that pervading numbness and overwhelming sadness that engulfed us all that fateful Thursday and in the following dreadful days has scarcely dissipated.We stood in sombre silent tribute with his school-mates and those who played...

Galway Cup Reflection

Sunday 13th August, 2017


2017 GALWAY CUP – REFLECTIONSAnd so the Galway Cup comes to an end.We had high hopes of doing really well which were not fully realised.
