It is with deep sadness that we learned of the passing of Tommy Cox, Mayour, Kilmeena, a man who left an indelible mark on his community. Tommy was an exceptional sportsman and a proud Kilmeena native. In the 1950s, he was an outstanding player for Kilmeena GAA, earning recognition for his talent and dedication to the game. His skill on the field led to his selection for the Mayo team during the 1953/54 league campaign. As a sub on the Mayo team that secured the National League Title in 1954, Tommy etched his name into the annals of Mayo GAA history. Beyond his contributions to football, Tommy was a passionate handballer, competing with Newport and claiming numerous titles. In 1964, his vision and drive helped establish the Kilmeena Handball Club, fostering a love of the sport in his community. That same year, he reached the Connaught doubles final, a testament to his skill and determination. Tommy’s commitment to the GAA extended beyond the pitch, serving as a delegate to the West Board in 1958. One of Tommy’s fondest memories came on February 6, 2022, when he was the first to arrive at Croke Park to cheer on his beloved Kilmeena as they clinched the All-Ireland Junior Club title. Reflecting on that joyous day, Tommy beamed with pride, describing it as "one of the best days of my life," his smile as broad as Clew Bay. Above all, Tommy was a true gentleman, known for his kindness, warmth, and dedication to his family and community. His legacy will live on in the hearts of all who knew him. We extend our deepest sympathy to Tommy’s family during this difficult time. May his gentle soul rest in peace. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dílis.

It was a highly enjoyable occasion, as evidenced by the large crowd that gathered to watch the older players out-score the younger ones in a very entertaining game.

It is with deep regret that we announce the sudden passing of Michael Feehan, Current Vice President of Kilmeena GAA Club. Michael was a true son of Buckfield, Kilmeena, where he grew up and developed his love for Gaelic football. From a young age, he donned the Kilmeena jersey, becoming a prominent figure on the team from 1968 to 1976. In 1989, Michael emigrated to London, but he never forgot his roots. He remained deeply connected to Kilmeena and had a steadfast interest in the club and county over the years. His unwavering generosity towards the club will always be deeply appreciated. Michael's funeral will take place in London, where the Kilmeena flag will grace his coffin. We extend our heartfelt condolences to Michael’s family and friends during this difficult time.
