It would be remiss of us to let the season end without mentioning our outgoing President Ronan O'Malley whose time, energy, and commitment have left a lasting mark on our club.

Over the last two years, through every match day, committee meeting, fundraiser, challenge, and celebration, Ronan has led with dedication, fairness, and genuine passion for our club and our sport. He has given his time so generously for the benefit of players, coaches, volunteers, supporters, and members at every level.

On behalf of everyone in the club, thank you Ronan for everything you’ve done and for the example you’ve set. We’re hugely grateful for your contribution.

Plus, he’s a Mayo man, so you know he’s good stock!

Once a club person, always a club person. 💚💛🖤

Welly Abú!
