It was with immense sadness and disbelief that we learnt of Denis Phelan’s untimely passing on Friday 5th March. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A hugely valued part of the club, Denis was a member of the Galway League team that re-entered local competition in the late 80’s after a long hiatus. After only a few years back in the local league, Denis was a key member of the team that won promotion from Division 2 and thus be in the team that played Division 1 for the first time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He had a great eye and head for the game, immense strength on the court and as all those that had the pleasure of playing with him, he never saw a shot that he didn’t like and rarely turned down…….<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After his competitive playing days drew to a close, he continued being a long-standing participant in our St. Stephen’s Day Blitz where his half-court shot was always a threat. He also branched into a coaching role, taking up the mantle when the club needed coaches in the underage section. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

His great demeanour, wit, sense of fun, conversation and chuckle will be sorely missed by all in Moycullen Basketball Club & the wider Moycullen Community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our deepest condolences to his wife Nora, children Cian, Aine & Donnahcadh and their partners, granddaughter Sienna, sisters Orla & Fiona, the extended family and friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ar dheis D\u00e9 go raibh a anam d\u00edlis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We take the opportunity also to remember the passing of our dear friend and great club member Pat Griffin who passed away 12 months ago.<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
