RIP – Padraic O’Brien
Last week the club lost a great friend and supporter.
Padraic O’ Brien and his family have had a strong association with the club since its’ foundations. One of our most loyal supporters, always familiar with the upcoming footballers and always positive towards the clubs developments. Padraic was a quiet and pleasant person with the heart of a lion.
The man in the concrete truck was well known for his helpfulness to his customers with some remarkable stories about his exploits to ensure the job got done.
Rest in Peace Padraic
