It is with great sadness we learned of the passing of Jeff “Big Mac” McCafferty.

Big Mac was very involved in many aspects of the Pittsburgh Irish community, including the Pittsburgh GAA. He was one of the early coaches of the Banshees and remained a dedicated supporter of our Banshees and Celtics after his coaching days were done, even joining the club on our trip to Ireland in 2024.

Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.

This week it’s the Banshees turn to hit the road!

Best of luck and safe travels to the ladies as they hit the road heading up to Rochester for a double header day, taking on both Buffalo and a combined Rochester/Syracuse team!

It promises to be a great day of ladies football in the Midwest!
