The committee and members of the FCG extend their heartfelt condolences to the family of Shane Hurson. We were deeply saddened to learn of Shane's passing on Saturday afternoon.
Shane and the Hurson family have long been associated with the group. His late father, Pat, was a founding member of the FCG and daughter Maureen, Shane's sister, has kept that connection continuing to serve as a committee member of the FCG.
Despite facing significant health challenges, we were truly delighted that Shane was able to join us for our 40th Anniversary celebrations last Year.
Shane will be fondly remembered by all of us and will be greatly missed by everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.

The committee, players and members of Loch Mhic Ruairi Naomh Treasa CLG are saddened to learn of the sudden and tragic passing of Padraig McDonald (RIP) after a road traffic accident last night. Padraig was a past player and current club member.

The beloved son of committee member Paddy and Kerry (nee Conway), brother of Pearse, Hanna, Shan and Daithi.

From a family steeped in Loch Mhic Ruairi CLG, it was no surprise Padraig followed their lead and embedded himself in club life. A talented player in his underage days, Padraig won back to back Ulster Cumann na mBunscols; a Grade 1 U14 League title (scoring a goal in the final) and a Grade 2 Minor League title.

Whilst he was no longer a player for Loch Mhic Ruairi, he maintained close links with the club, volunteering when called upon and continuing to give up his time for the community.

This past year seen him celebrate the All-Ireland success of his brother Pearse with the Tyrone U-17 team, along with supporting his brother and friends as the club minor team completed the Grade 2 League and Championship Double.

He was of course overjoyed to see our senior men reach the pinnacle of Tyrone football, winning the O’Neill cup, and joined in with the celebrations with the club and wider community. He played his part in the build up by putting up many flags and bunting - he even painted a number of his sheep black and amber!

A keen farmer, Padraig spent much of his days at hard graft, possessing a work ethic admired by all. A selfless individual who offered help to many without expectation of praise or credit. Padraig will be greatly missed by his family, friends, the club and the wider community.

Our heartfelt condolences to Paddy, Kerry, Pearse, Hanna, Shan, Daithi and the wider McDonald / Conway Families.

On his way home tonight (Fri) Paudie will stop at the club where he will pick up his jersey for the final time. All available members are invited to attend for 8.15pm to form a Guard of Honour along the drive - please park in chapel car park/Fr Mallon Park and wear club colours 🌓

The funeral will take place Monday morning with the wake at Paudie’s home 12pm - 10pm Saturday & Sunday. Those wishing to pay their respects should park at Loughmacrory chapel car park where buses will bring you across and back.

‘D’imigh tu i mblath na hóige, ar Sholas na bhFlaitheas go raibh do anam geal | You departed in the bloom of youth, may your pure soul be granted the Light of Heaven.’

Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.
