Tony Fitzgerald RIP

Ballysteen GAA Club and its members send its deepest sympathy to the Fitzgerald family, Mantle Hill on the death of Tony.

Tony captained Ballysteen in 1964 to their first and only county senior football championship. He captained Limerick in the 1965 Munster football final when they went down to Kerry in the Gaelic Grounds. Tony went on to win 3 more county senior football championship finals with Askeaton in 1965, 1966 and 1972. He also played Railway Cup with Munster.

Service to the Elderly
Ballysteen GAA along with Askeaton GAA & Askeaton/Ballysteen/Kilcornan Bord na nÓg GAA wish to offer our services to the eldery and the most vulnerable in our community during this current time and throughout the weeks ahead.
All three clubs are coming together to give back to our community that has supported us throughout good times and bad. We will be offering to help anyone who requires shopping, prescriptions, fuel etc to be collected on their behalf and delivered to their doorstep.
We will support local businesses to help keep our local community going. Listed below are our coordinators numbers. You can ring or text these numbers and we will organise assistance thereafter. Best hygiene practices will be used by our volunteers during the delivery of this service.
Thanks to everyone who is volunteering as part of this. Every little helps in the sustainment and sense of community amongst ourselves. Please remember to share this information to people who are not on Social Media so that they know this service is available.
