The club wish to express sympathy with the family and relatives of Peter Joe Henry, Oughterard and formerly of Whitehill, Riverstown. Peter Joe was a great GAA supporter and the Henry family have a long history with not only Shamrock Gaels but also Sooey and Knockalassa. Peter Joe played for both teams and won Foley Cups with both clubs in the late 1960's. Ar Dheis Dé go raibh a anam.
