Clare native PJ Begley of 53 Old Muirhevna, Dundalk passed away at the age of 90 on April 8 2009. He played gaelic football for Kilfenora, Limerick CIE and the Clare seniors during his own career and remained a staunch GAA follower all his life, regularly travelling to Croke Park. PJ lined out at midfield for the Banner County in 1946, when they got within two points of Kerry in the Munster semi-final. His brother Padraig also played that day.
