A tribute to the late Jimmy Lynam RIP

Cork GAA is deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Jimmy Lynam at the age of 100 years. Jimmy served the GAA in Cork with distinction, both as a player and an administrator. He was a highly decorated player with Glen Rovers and St Nick’s, his beloved clubs, to whom he devoted a lifetime of service.

He was a multiple senior county medal winner in hurling and football, and a Harty Cup winner with the North Monastery. He won two All-Ireland senior hurling titles with Cork, in 1952 and 53, sharing success with his fellow clubman Christy Ring.

Jimmy’s recent 100^th birthday celebrations saw many well-deserved tributes paid in his honour, as he was a popular figure and a great ambassador for the GAA and its values. As we now mourn his passing, we recall a life well-lived. Cork GAA extends its condolences to Jimmy’s family and to Glen Rovers and St Nick’s.
