St. Patricks GAA Club

We extend sympathy to Eileen, Michael, Ned and Joey Lawrence on the recent death of Tony Lawrence. Michael, Ned and Joey were all members of St. Patricks under age teams with Ned and Joey winning a South Under 12 title in 1986. In 1996 St. Patricks joined forces with Mullinahone at under 21 level and in the south hurling final they drew with Ballingarry courtesy of a “cracking goal from Joey Lawrence” according to The Nationlist. In the replay the St. Patricks-Mullinahone combination were victorious by 4-10 to 0-12 for Ballingarry. Joey went on to play junior hurling with St. Patricks for several years, contesting a South Tipperary Junior A hurling final in 1998, until emigration stole him from us. However even though he is living thousands of miles away Joey has not forgotten us as he sponsored Juvenile jerseys for St. Patricks a few years ago and earlier this year he sponsored training gear for St. Patricks Junior A and B teams. Michael Lawrence was a prominent member of St. Patricks set dance groups winning South Finals in 1988 and 1990 and added a Figure Dancing south title in 1994. May the soul of Tony Lawrence rest in peace.

We also extend sympathy to Mary, Teresa, Frances, David and Richard Morrissey on the recent death of Sylvie Morrissey of Rossane Cloneen. Sylvie ran a very successful business in Carrick on Suir which is now looked after by his son David. May the soul of Sylvie Morrissey rest in peace.
