It is with great sadness within our Mostrim GAA Club and the Edgeworthstown Community that we have learned of the untimely passing of Alan O'Hara.
Alan was a current playing member of the Mostrim GAA Club and was heavily involved in helping with the Minors and Senior's of the club up until a few weeks ago. Alan comes from a proud Mostrim GAA Family, with the O'Hara family steeped in Mostrim GAA. Of course, Alan was more commonly referred to his nickname " Hardchaw" or Chaw for short, but in reality, Alan was a true gent of a Gael.
Alan started out at underage level, and it was plain to see his love for his Club Mostrim GAA.
On any given day, you would see Alan going to the club gym or going for a run or cycle. Always in tip-top physical condition. Fitness was never a problem.
Alan played at every level for the Mostrim Club growing up and represented Longford at each grade up to U21 level. In recent years, Alan was an integral part of the Mostrim Senior Team, and never more as en route to the County Final in 2021, lining out at number 7, in the half back line.
To Alan's Mother Mary, Father John, sisters, Rebecca, Rachel, Alison, Aisling, Alan's partner Ariel, the extended O'Hara family and his wide circle of friends, we extend our deepest sympathies.
Alan will be missed in Mostrim GAA Club, Edgeworthstown Community and beyond.
