Once again Shane Uì Nèill Glenarm find themselves mourning the passing of one of their elder members.
An honorary life member, Anthony played many roles within the club, secretary, treasurer, and coaching roles at juvenile and senior level.
He was also a founder member and first chairman of All Saints GAC Ballymena when they reformed in 1975/76
Born on Gowkstown farm 1938, Anthony was a member of the Glenarm team who won junior championship 1957, playing with, among others Eugene McMullan RIP, who also passed away recently.
Among Anthony’s proudest moments was being coach/selector of Antrim minor hurlers 1980 when they defeated Kilkenny at Nowlan Park in the Leinster championship.
Anthony was county hurling board secretary 1979-1996 during which time he enjoyed success, the highlight being when Antrim reached the All-Ireland senior final 1989.
He was also a keen amateur historian and often contributed to the Glens of Antrim Historical Society.
To Anthony’s family and the wider Mulvenna family we offer our deepest condolences.
Mary Queen of the Gael pray for him.
