Saddened

AND finally I was saddened to learn over the weekend of the sudden and tragic passing of former Louth and Dundalk Young Irelands player Michael McCabe. Mickey was a great servant to club and county winning a Senior Championship in 1979. He was a great support to me as a youngster coming into the Louth panel for the first time in 1985. He always had your back and showed me the ropes on how to survive. He was as tough as nails but an excellent footballer also. A win by Young Irelands next week in the Leinster Junior Final would be a fitting tribute. My deepest sympathies to his wife and family. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.
