Martin Slevin - Laois. RIP

[AZOffaly]

laoisgaa tells me that Martin Slevin, of O'Dempsey's in Laois, has passed away today after a battle with leukemia. Martin marked me back in 1994 in the Leinster U21 Championship battle of Tullamore, but he never struck a foul belt that day, probably didn't need to marking me. I'm shocked to hear this as he was such a fit fella, he played for Laois seniors for a while as well, I think.

RIP Martin, and deepest sympathies to his family, including his young kids,  his clubmates and friends..

Terrible news. It's never easy for a family, but for someone so young.

RIP.
