Everyone associated with Leitrim Handball is very sorry to hear of Fearghas MacLochlainn's passing.
Fearghas was the driving force behind Connacht Cumann na mBunscol handball competitions for many years.
Our condolences to the MacLochlainn family and to all his friends in Cumann Liathróid Láimhe Micheál Breathnach.
All in Salthill Handball Club were shocked and saddened to hear of the passing of our dear friend Fearghas MacLochlainn from Cumann Liathróid Láimhe Micheál Breathnach. Our condolences go to his wife Brid and daughter Anna and to all of his many friends in Michael Breathnachs.
Fearghas was the driving force for many many years behind the Cumann NaMbunscoill Liathroid Laimhe compettions in both Co. Galway and Connacht. Hundreds of school kids throughout the county would never have gotten the opportunity to represent their schools at handball without Fearghas hard work, dedication and organisation skills. Our club was always happy to facilitate Fearghas requests for referees and the facilities to run the competitions. A true gael and a gentleman to deal with.
Rest in Peace Fearghas a chara.
