Paddy Connor was a member of the Connor family with Cloneycavan affiliations that served Ballivor football club so well in underage competitions. Paddy started slowly in the game but when he warmed up to the task he was a match for anyone. His finest hour was possibly against Skryne in the final of the Under 21 championship which Ballivor won with Paddy playing a 'blinder' in the second half. Or it may have been against Summerhill in the very first round of the competition, played in Summerhill, when Noel Dempsey and Paddy in the half back line snuffed out the opposition. Paddy's unexpected and untimely death was felt deeply in this community.
