Champions honour player’s father

NEWLY crowned All-Ireland intermediate club champions Carbery Rangers laid aside celebrations last night as Rosscarbery honoured the late Paddy Santry.

Players and supporters formed a guard of honour for the removal of remains of Mr Santry, whose son Kevin was one of the heroes during the club’s finest hour on Sunday.

At the request of other family members, the club had been asked not to tell goalkeeper Kevin that his father had passed away shortly after the team coach had departed Rosscarbery for the All-Ireland decider in Portlaoise.
