Condolences
Midleton GAA club wishes to extend its sympathy and heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Pamela Daly, mother of Nicky Hayes from our Fe16's panel. It was with great sadness that we learned of the sudden passing of Pam last Sunday.  The thoughts and prayers of the entire GAA family are with her children, Craig, Charlotte, Nicky and Erin, her parents Marie & Tim, her sister Annette and all her relatives and many friends at this very difficult time.  Pam was a great supporter of the Juvenile club, and was always first to lend a hand in any event we ran at the Club.  Pam will be very sadly missed. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a hanam.
