Bryansford Gaels deeply regret the tragic passing of well respected referee Michael Cole. Michael was always welcome at St Patricks Park and it was indeed only last Wednesday he officiated in our Minor League Fixture v St Johns. To his wife, son and three daughters the Gaels of Bryansford extend our deepest sympathy. Mary Queen of Gaels pray for him.
