Firstly I would like to start these notes with a special mention of Dr Darrgh Little who sadly passed away last Friday evening. He was a true gentleman and will be sadly missed by all at Shannon RFC. It was a fitting tribute to see the sheer amount of people who came to pay their respects at Thompson's funeral home on Sunday evening,all those who came to the clubhouse afterward and all who have sent messages via email, twitter and Facebook. I know from speaking with the family briefly it was much appreciated.
As a mark of respect all senior club matches were cancelled and so no match reports for this week
Events and News
Our Club BBQ took place last Friday evening.It was a great success and a brilliant time was had by all. The sunny evening made a perfect setting to the event. Many thanks and recognition goes to all the people who made the event possible.All the committee members and ticket sellers,to Maire and the bar staff for cooking the bbq and handing out the HB Ice-cream treats to the kids. Thanks also to Dermot Long Snr. & Jr, Julie and Carl, who took photos on the evening and printed posters for the event, from GBM Limerick. The panoramic photo and player panel pics were admired by many. Thanks as well to the Mayor of Limerick Gerry McLoughlin and Munster's Donnacha Ryan who made it to the clubhouse and spent time with all in attendance. Pictures to follow soon.
