The many friends of ‘Showery’ in the club and in the town were saddened to hear of his death during the week. Showery was a member of a family with very strong connections with the club for decades and his bothers , nephews and cousins all wore the Blue jersey.
Showery was a native of Caseyville and he played with them on many a street league hurling team in the 1960’s. He always followed the club’s fortunes with a keen interest and he was a big help to us when we staged our darts fundraiser with the Brickeys two years ago.
The club extends its sincere sympathy to Showery’s family at this very sad time for them.
