East Kerry mourn Delaney passing
EAST Kerry GAA extends sympathy, on the sad passing away of Pat Delaney, our GAA colleague and officer to his wife Bridget, family and friends.
Pat, a native of Kilkenny, has been involved in hurling in the District and County since he arrived in Killarney in 1983. His 22nd year on the Board he is currently Assistant Treasurer of East Kerry GAA and Vice President of his beloved St Pat’s East Kerry Hurling club.
Pat served as Kerry Minor and Senior Hurling Selector from 1995 to 2000, Chairman of South Kerry Hurling Board 1994 to 2014 during which time he served on the Kerry County CCC.
Parallel with his East Kerry roles of Hurling Officer, Treasurer and Assistant Treasurer, he devoted huge time promoting hurling, to his club St Pats, to South Kerry Hurling Board and at County levels.
A gentleman to his fingertips, staunch Kilkenny Hurling supporter, his passion and love of the small ball is reflected in his long commitment and drive to promote hurling in East Kerry and beyond over the past 30 years. He will be sorely missed.
