MUNGRET ST. PAUL’S GAA CLUB NOTES

CONDOLENCES
It was with great sadness when we heard of the death of Michael Reynolds. Michael was a true Mungret man and wore the number three jersey with distinction, creating fear in any full forward whom he marked. Playing for over two decades he always reserved his outstanding performances for the games against Ballybrown. His tradition was carried on by his three sons who wore the red on many a day.
In the late 70s, when the club embarked upon its building program we purchased the old Neodata prefabs in Killmallock and Michael provided the transport and refreshments over a number of Saturdays. In later years, many a young hurler got heartfelt words of encouragement from “Mikey” following a match, especially if a moment of toughness was displayed, you could even have a poem in your honour to be recited at the next dinner dance.
Michael was also a renowned dairy farmer, winning the Kerry Quality award twice, in 1979 and 1996 all from his farm in the heart of Mungret St. Pauls parish. Michaels passing will be a huge loss to the club and community, to Kathleen, Gerry, Mary, James, Catherine, Nuala, Bertie and all his extended family we extend our deepest sympathies on the loss of a great Mungret Man.
