Tom Darcy R.I.P.
There was deep sadness in our club on Wednesday last 19th July when word came through of the sad passing of Tom Darcy in his native Co. Offaly. Tom played a big part in our club from the early 1970’s when he joined Tinryland having taken up an appointment as the head of P.E. at Carlow I.T.
He began playing and training Tinryland senior teams at that time and enjoyed considerable success as a player/coach during the 2nd golden era for our club during the 1970’s and early eighties. As a player he won Carlow S.F.C. medals in 1979 and 1981 and he continued to be involved with our club during the eighties and nineties. Tom also had a spell as manager of Carlow senior footballers.
Tom will repose at his home in Gloster House, Hill Road, Cloghan, Co Offaly on Thursday July 21st from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. His removal will take place on Friday morning 22nd July to the Church of the Immaculate Conception Ferbane for Requiem Mass at 11.a.m. which may be viewed on www.ferbaneparish.ie. Internment will take place afterwards in Clonmacnois. Ar Dheas de go raibh a Anam dilis.
