Sympathy
On Sunday morning last the Glenfarne/Kiltyclogher area was saddened to hear of the death of Seamus McDermott. Seamus was an active member of Glenfarne/Kiltyclogher GAA club and served the club both on the playing field and in numerous administrative positions over the years. Seamus devoted a lot of his time to underage football in Glenfarne/Kiltyclogher and this work, carried out with a great determination and commitment is now evident in the club's current crop of senior players. Seamus also served the club as Senior Team Manager and as a selector on many occasions. Seamus also served as club chairman on a number of occasions over the years with his last term coming to an end in January of 2004. He was also an ever-present spectator at all Glenfarne/Kiltyclogher’s matches both Senior and Junior where he took great joy in watching his four sons wear the Black and White with distinction. Seamus was an avid Leitrim supporter and rarely missed a match when his beloved county was in action. Seamus will be sadly missed by all of us who knew him and had the pleasure of working with him over the years. Gaelic Football and Glenfarne/Kiltyclogher GAA club has lost one of its finest servants. To his wife Bridie, daughter Denise and sons, David, Paul, Barry and J.J we express our deepest sympathy. May he rest in peace.
