[charlie stubbs]

heard the news after magherlin drumgath game.terrible to hear R.I.P.

the game was a draw dan mc cabe netted a fine individualgoal for drumgath in the first half they where about 7 or 8 points at one stage.  didnt show up in the second half think they only maybe managed a point if even!brian sweeney and decky lavery inspired the magherlin comeback, point should keep them up.  was contraversy at end drumgath claimed they won by a point linden wasnt happy amongest others wasnt really keeping scores coz thought drumgath would walk it but from when magherlin where 4 down seemed to be a draw!

I know I speak for every one from RGUDownpatrick when I say Mickey was an absolute gentleman and deepest sympathy to his famiily. RIP

As you can imagine, we're in a state of shock in Ballyholland.

No words can be used to describe how awful it is to see someone pass away in this manner.

Rest in peace Mickey.

Hard to take in the news about Micky.  He was a gentleman from a solid family circle and a respected ref as well. 

Does this teach Down (and other counties) the urgent need for defibs at every game.  Tyrone are well ahead of us on this.  It may, or may not, have worked for Micky but may have given Micky a chance that (prob) wasn't there tonight.

This one hits real hard, last spoke with Micky in Jan he looked fit and well, just goes to show could be any of us tomorrow I suppose. 

Commiserations to the the whole family circle and in particular brothers Maurice and Quinten who I knew at school.  RIP.
