The late Bill Fox, an absolute gentleman. I’m just back from Ballylanders where he’s being waked in their clubhouse.
Sombre afternoon up there while preparations were being made. A massive loss to both clubs I’m told.
Definitely. He was a club legend and an officer of the South board for many years. Some man to fundraise locally. Rural clubs and communities are exceptional when it comes to organising funerals for their own fallen. The Bally pitch is down a boreen and there’s a right awkward junction when approaching from the northern side. Stewards everywhere, roped areas for access/egress and even a walk-through marquee if the weather turns bad.
Heard great reports on his work today. May he Rest in Eternal Peace.
Any updates?
Throw-in at 8pm, mate. The Mushes usually have score updates throughout on their twitter account. The chap running our lads’ twitter account is probably playing.
I won’t be able to make it sadly.
Latest score???
