Its with great sadness that we learn of the sad passing of John Coleman. Even though John was a very committed and great GAA player with his beloved Dunmore Mchales and Galway, John always found time to line out for our club every season he could. John wore the no 10 and sometimes the no 15 jerseys with distinction and excelled in both positions. John will be remembered fondly by all our members and we’re sure he is now looking down on us with all the other greats that have passed from both clubs.
May he rest in peace.
Our sincere sympathies to he’s wife Catherine, sons Michael, Mark and daughter Sinead and all the Coleman and Walsh families.

Connacht star helps Dunmore U15s celebrate historic title

Dylan Tierney Martin was a very welcome guest to the Fairgreen, helping our U15 boys celebrate their historic 1A League Title. This achievement, the first A league win at Youth Level in the club’s history is a huge milestone and the club were delighted that Dylan kindly took time out of preparing for the upcoming URC QF away to Glasgow to present the trophy to captain Dylan Madden and medals to all the squad.
This squad have enjoyed continued success, winning the U13 Plate, the U14 Plate and now the league at U15 level in successive seasons. They also enjoyed a successful cup run, narrowly loosing to a good Buccaneers team in the Cup Semi Final.
A very big thank you to Dylan for helping us celebrate making history over the weekend.
