It is with great sadness that London GAA report the passing of former chairperson Tommy Harrell. The Wexford and Fr Murphys man was recently re-elected as Oifgeach na Gaeilge at the first County Convention he missed since 1960.
RIP Tommy. Ar dheis Dé do raibh a anam.

Brendan Moyles - Rest in Peace
The county is deeply saddened by the news of Brendan Moyles' passing. He was a gentleman, loyal Gael and a friend. London chairperson Donal Corbett pays tribute to him here. We extend our condolences to all the Moyles family
We are very saddened by this news. Paddy served as player, manager and officer for club and county, but no other contributed as he did in promoting our games in his weekly publication. A true gael that will be sorely missed. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.
It is with immense sadness that we announce the death, a short time ago, in London, of Paddy Cowan, the owner and publisher of The Irish World, peacefully with his family by his bedside. He will be missed. May he Rest in Peace.

It is brightening up here in north west London this morning and less than three hours until throw-in. Check out the starting London team that will host Waterford at 1pm this afternoon.. and remember it is FREE ENTRY to the game today
But above all the Tipperary native was a family man, who often had his two beloved children alongside him on his way into the grounds for matches. It is them and his wife Denise that the board wish to pass on their most heartfelt condolences to at this desperately sad time.
