Team work

1 year today.
R.I.P. Seán Rooney.

At dawn this morning in South Lebanon, the entire Irish-Polish Battalion paraded in silence to honour the memory of our fallen comrade, Pte Seán Rooney, on his first anniversary. Later, we will honour his memory at the Tibnine Memorial. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dílis.

Enjoyable day’s work with RTÉ Sport . Naas will feel they had their chances in the second half. Crokes keep their incredible run going.
