In Memory of Keith Phelan
🕊️ In Memory of Keith Phelan
Cork GAA extends its deepest sympathies to the family and friends of Keith Phelan, a devoted supporter who sadly and unexpectedly passed away on June 17th.
Keith was the heart of every matchday. Though confined to a wheelchair, his passion for Gaelic Games—and for Cork GAA in particular—never faded. His unwavering love for our teams, his strength, and his spirit left a mark on everyone who knew him.
As we head into the All-Ireland Hurling final, we will take a moment to honour Keith’s memory and the lifelong support he gave to our games.
Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.
