Shamrocks missing the quiet man

IT DOESN’T take as long as it used to do when Shamrocks GAA club members lock up their dressing room after training sessions.

There’s a simple reason for that. The club recently lost the player who was regularly last to head in for his shower after training and matches.

However, Kieran Hegarty wasn’t lost to the sites of the United States or Australia, or the office blocks in London. He died suddenly after a training session with the club in Cork’s Lower Harbour. He was just 31.
