Sarsfields GAA are devastated to hear of the tragic and untimely passing of Declan (Doc) O' Connell.

Doc was a valued member of our club. His playing time spanned many years up to very recently. He coached both underage teams and adult teams. He was an all around gentleman, gifted musician and he will be fondly remembered by all who knew him in Sarsfields.

The club offers our sincere sympathies to his partner Audrey, daughter Niamh, his parents Mary and Iggy, his sister Denise and all his extended family, his colleagues in the Army and anyone who was privileged to call him a friend.

Ar dheis Dé go raibh a h'anam..💔💚
