Sad to report the passing of former Moylagh footballer Michael Gibney.

Clubs have been paying tribute to the former manager of Supervalu in Kells on social media.

Moylagh GAA

All of us in Moylagh GAA Club were greatly saddened this morning to hear of the passing of Michael Gibney.

Michael played a key role on the field through the 90s and was a leader on our young team that was emerging at that time. Michael captained the team to an A league final success in 1996 v Drumbaragh.

In more recent times Michael remained a strong supporter of the club.

Anyone who had the pleasure to bump into Michael in SuperValu in Kells were always guaranteed a discussion on Moylagh or Meath football.

We offer our sympathies to Geraldine, Cathal, Ellen, Winnie, Ester, Gerry, Ray, Peter and extended family. May he rest in peace.
