Juvenile Secretary: Mike Lynch’s 22 year tenure as Austin Stacks GAA’s Juvenile Club Secretary came to an end at last Wednesday’s Juvenile AGM. The most unsung of unsung heroes! The Kenmare native’s secretarial stint is remarkable not only in its length but also in it’s flawless nature.

From the Lee Strand tournament, countless Feiles, referees, not to the mention the hundreds of fixtures arranged under his watch his stewardship always exemplified the highest of standards with the utmost courtesy.

Mike will continue as U9 coach. Thanks, Mike, and best wishes from all of us in Austin Stacks GAA.
