Rathmore/Gneeveguila News

Message from the Irish Amputee Football Association

What an amazing day and tribute to Dave Saunders at Rathmore G.A.A Astro Pitch. The Rathmore committee and supporters were awesome. The football games were competitive with Cork City FC claiming the 1st Dave Saunders Memorial Shield after a 4-0 win over Bohemian Football Club. Thanks so much to everyone who attended this weekend, there will be loads of photos to go up online over the next few days and of course video of the games. Special thanks to Dave’s wife Annmarie, his children Jack & Aoibhin and Dave’s parents Ann & John and Dave extended family & friends for making us feel so welcome,
