It is with great sadness that we learn of the death of Paddy Mc Ilvenny following a short illness. Paddy ‘Mac’ as he was popularly known joined St Agnes G.A.C. in the early eighties. Previous to that he had won a senior football championship medal with St Teresa’s G.A.C in 1980.

Paddy, a formidable player, was part of a very good St Agnes team, of that era, who historically reached Division 1 of the All County Football league. He went on to become club chairman and a trustee of the club. Other roles followed as South Antrim secretary and then assistant County secretary.

He worked in Casement Social Club as a barman and progressed to become bar manager for many years. As a consequence of his varied roles he was therefore widely known throughout GAA circles and his passing certainly diminishes us all.

Our deepest sympathy goes out to his wife, Christine, sons Martin, Stephen, daughter Carolyn, and his extended family.
