Shannon mourn Keane

MEMBERS of Shannon Rugby Club and the wider rugby community are mourning the passing of Bobby Keane, one of the great characters of the game.

Mr Keane played a key role in the development of Shannon ever since joining the club in the late 1940s.

He went on to figure in the first Shannon team to reach a Munster Senior Cup in 1953, and again when it was won in 1960.
