All-Ireland medal winner Falvey dies

MICK FALVEY, a Kerry native who won an All-Ireland SFC medal with Dublin, has died.

Falvey, who was born in Dingle, was on the 1942 championships winning team and was partnered in midfield by a fellow Kerryman and Dublin captain, the late Joe Fitzgerald.

He was one of six Kerrymen, based in Dublin, who helped end a 19-year famine to bring the Sam Maguire Cup back to the capital when they defeated Galway by two points (1-10 to 1-8).
