He also played and assisted with the Round Tower Adult Junior hurling teams over many years. When the clubs children needed coaches at the nursery – John and Angela gave their time.

John has been diagnosed with a tumour in his liver and he is currently undergoing medical treatment that involves costly ongoing biopsies which can only be analysed abroad, these are critical in determining John’s future course of treatment. John is a dedicated family man and for John “home is where the heart is”. He is the primary financial provider in the household and this is where your support is really needed. The goal of Round Tower GAA Club is to raise €25,000 to contribute to John’s health care and associated costs.

On this day, Round Tower GAA will host a festival of GAA games against teams from Moyne/Templetouhy GAA Club, the U8’s Girls, U11’s Boys, U13 Girls and Adult teams will participate. These games will take place in Monastery Road GAA facilities, Clondalkin. There will also be a host of other fun activities arranged on the day.
