FAREWELL
On Sunday last we bid ‘Bon Voyage’ to our footballing fashionista Tomas Power. We will miss his footballing skills on the field but more than that we will miss his cheeky smile and sense of fun and devilment around the place. Mossy heads off on his travels to Australia with our adopted physio/sideline medic David Murphy, the blind leading the blind as they say, two crazy lovable lads that will leave a void for the year that they are gone. Luckily they have a third traveller, Brandon, who we hope will keep them both in line and out of trouble.
Safe travels boys, look after yourselves, have a blast and see ye all in time for the 2018 season. Congratulations to Jim Rossitter, who was a member of the Wexford senior football team that defeated Limerick in a Allianz div.4 league game played at Innovate Wexford park on Sunday last.
