Seamus McGrattan RIP

Saturday 13th January 2018

Coiste Chontae an Dúin and the family that is Down GAA are saddened to learn today of the death of Seamus McGrattan.

An excellent administrator Seamus was Secretary of the Hurling Board from 1972 until 1977 and then went on to serve as Ulster Hurling Development Officer. Seamus was also a referee who officiated at County Finals.

Seamus time as Runaí Coiste Iomana coincided with the term as Chairman of Coiste Iomana of his father Paddy, a situation that would not be equalled too often at County level today.

A man who was a true gael, we extend our deepest sympathy to his wife Anna, his Children Killian, Moira and Brendan. 

To the gaels of Ballygalget we offer our sympathies on the loss of a Club Stalwart.
