London GAA is in mourning today following the sad passing of its former chairman Tommy Harrell.

The Wexford native had been recently re-elected as Oifgeach na Gaeilge at the first county convention he missed since 1960 due to his illness.

An incredible servant to London hurling over the past half century, tributes have been pouring in for the late Fr Murphys clubman on Twitter this morning:
