IN CONDOLENCE
The committee, players, coaches and members past and present were deeply saddened last week at the passing of Bruddy Burrows after a brave battle with illness.
Bruddy was a founding member of St. Brendan’s Basketball Club twenty-one years ago along with Charles and Marie O’Sullivan, Tania O’Sullivan and Noel McCoy. Widely recognised as one of the best basketball player of his time in Ireland, Bruddy was a great ambassador for the development of the game in Tralee. As a player he was rewarded with 22 international appearances for Ireland, captaining the side on one occasion.
A gifted footballer, he won two County Championships with John Mitchels and partnered his brother Seanie to win back-to-back All Ireland Minor Football Championships with Kerry in 1962 and 1963. He was also a great golfer and played off a handicap of 6. He was a true sporting hero in Tralee and beyond and one of life’s true gentlemen.
Everybody involved in the club wish to express sincerest sympathy to Bruddy’s family, Margaret, Paula, David, Alan and Myrthe, brother Seanie, sisters Marie and Helena and all his extended family and friends. May he rest in peace.
