Hundreds attend candlelit vigil for Shane Geoghegan

HUNDREDS gathered in a Limerick church last night for a candlelit vigil in remembrance of murdered rugby captain Shane Geoghegan.

The Catholic and Church of Ireland Bishops of Limerick, along with a representative of the Methodist and Presbyterian churches, led prayers at St Joseph’s Church for Garryowen thirds captain, Shane, 28, who was murdered on November 9 in a case of mistaken identity.

His parents, Tom and Mary, brother Anthony, and fiance Jenna Barry, were joined by Shane’s player colleagues from Garryowen, club president John Noonan and officers of the club.
