Title: Darrel Darcy - Tipperary footballer
Post by: Kerry Mike on April 09, 2008, 06:22:35 PM
Just got this Munster GAA Alert.

=========================

The President of the GAA, Mr Nickey Brennan has extended his deepest sympathies and those of the Association to the family of Tipperary Under 21 and Senior footballer, Darrel Darcy who was killed yesterday in a car accident.

Darrel was a member of the Shannon Rovers club and represented his county at Minor, Under 21 and Senior levels. Last weekend he played in the Munster Under 21 final, when Tipperary were defeated by Kerry and lined out for the Senior side in their National Football League win over Antrim on Sunday.

Mr. Brennan said that Darrel was an exceptional sportsman, very committed to his club and county. He expressed his condolences on behalf of the Association to Darrel's family, friends, club and county team-mates at this very sad and difficult time.

Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.

======================

Its terrible sad news and my sympathies go to his family, may he Rest in Peace.

I saw him play in both games last week-end, Under 21 Final v. Kerry and NFL v. Antrim.   I believe that he also played a hurling match for his club on Sunday night.   He was a fine young footballer and it is a hugely sad time for his family and friends.  Ar dheis De go raibh a anam.

Very sad news. I hope his family and friends can somehow get strength from somewhere to get through this though I don't suppose you ever fully do. RIP.

This was only last weekend in the Munster U21 Final, Darrel Darcy is at the back of Tipp parade, with the black gloves.
Life is not fair sometimes.

round of the 2008 Munster Under 21 Football Championship.
