BALLYSTEEN GAA CLUB NOTES

Before heading to New Zealand, Diarmuid played football with the Club, starring in goals at Minor, U21, Junior and Senior level on many occasions. Despite living on the otherside of the world, Diarmuid followed the fortunes of our games closely and was always on hand to congratulate our victories and sympathise our defeats.

This past year has seen Diarmuid battle bravely against his diagnosis and indeed the strength and courage he showed throughout was most evident during the weekend that was held in his aid earlier this year as people from all walks of life came out to show their support for him. It truly was a testament to how much Diarmuid was respected in our small community.

Ballysteen GAA extends it’s sincere sympathies to his wife Jenna, father Séan, brothers Séan Óg and Mikey, sister Michelle, his extended family of in-laws, cousins, nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles and his many friends both at home and abroad.
