Death of former Clonmore player, Nicksey Byrne.

Clonmore GFC would like to send sincere sympathies to the family and friends of the late Nicksey Byrne who passed away last week. A very popular character around Hacketstown, Nicksey played football for Clonmore in the 1960s and '70s and was also a talented handballer, winning a County Championship with the Hacketstown Team of Six in 1980.
