It was with deep sadness that we learned this week of the passing of Colin ‘Buckey’ McCambridge, former All Saints and later Glenravel player.

I had the pleasure of managing this excellent young man as a juvenile player at All Saints where his contribution to his side was always immense. An excellent footballer who competed fiercely and was well respected by both his management and playing colleagues.

Colin went on to represent All Saints at senior level and his father, Henry RIP was a regular attender at many of his games while his brothers Henry, Declan and Adrian all played juvenile football for the Ballymena club where his uncle Brain has been a member of the All Saints club committee since its formation, 50 years ago.

Later in his career Colin played for Con Magee’s, Glenravel for a number of years and there too he gained the admiration of his colleagues for his strong contribution to their side.

Colin is survived by his wife Marika, sons Kaiden and Aian, his mother Catherine, brothers Henry, Declan and Adrian and sisters Siobhan and Kathryn and to them and his wider family circle we at the Saffron Gael extend our deepest sympathy.

Our Lady of the Gael, pray for him.
