My heart hurts today💔

Johnny thought me to work hard, to be determined & to never give up.

But more than that, he taught me passion, excitement and the love for all things sport.

He made me believe I could achieve whatever I put my mind to on a pitch!
Ground Hurling!!

[Official Offaly GAA @Offaly_GAA]

Offaly GAA is mourning the death of hurling legend, Johnny Flaherty.

A hero for Offaly and his Club, @KinnittyGaa, Johnny scored the winning goal in the 1981 All-Ireland Senior Hurling Final.

May he rest in peace.

Ps, we didn’t always see eye to eye but we always worked it out. It made us stronger. Thank you @JC200022 for everything you have done for me, for Railway and women’s rugby in Ireland💚

[Ailsa Hughes @Hughesie18]

1 of my fav pics. We were in the middle of the 6Nations, it was tough! JC knew and just hugged me, let me cry on his shoulder. He made Railway home! He made coming home after the wins, but more importantly the losses, just so much easier! I was so happy to be back with my family!
