We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Kerrykeel legend John Joe Mc Ateer. He managed and ran Kerrykeel, along with his wife Peggy for decades. He was one of the great characters of the game and there are great memories of the summer cups he ran. He was always vocal on the sidelines, showing his great love and commitment to the club and it was always a pleasure to be in his company afterwards. A true legend in the Donegal league, it'll never be the same playing Kerrykeel without him. To Peggy and family Kerrykeel '71 club and to all his friends, we extend our condolences. RIP John Joe.

To his family and many friends, we extend our sincere condolences. May he rest in peace.

We extend our condolences to the family and friends of John Mc Clintock, Castleblaugh, on his passing. John was one of life's characters, and called it as he saw it. He'll certainly be missed for all the banter. May he rest in peace.
