Lixnaw Hurling Club would like to extend our deepest sympathy and heartfelt condolences to the family of Aidan Connolly, affectionately known to all as Sammy.
Sammy was a familiar and much-loved face around Hermitage Park, regularly making the journey from Wexford and Waterford to the green grass to support his nephew James, our current Senior Hurling Team Manager, both during his playing days and now in his role with the team.
His presence on the sideline, his support and his genuine interest in Lixnaw hurling will be fondly remembered by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.
The GAA is built on family, friendship and community, and Sammy was very much part of that Lixnaw hurling family and community.
We extend our deepest condolences to his sisters, Shelia Flaherty (Tullacrim) Mary Kenny (Crotta) and Catherine, James and all of the Connolly family at this very difficult time.
May the memories of Sammy bring comfort to his family and friends in the days ahead.
Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dílis.
