Michael Coleman's untimely passing is all the more shocking because he was unbreakable on the field for @Galway_GAA. Cyril Farrerll, Pete Finnerty, and Colm Bonner pay tribute to the @abbeyknockmoyhc man. #GAABelong https://t.co/CAiDWfj0D7

Michael Coleman. Before my time but heard some great stories about the man from teammates of the past. Hero for club and county. Stuff of legends scoring the winning point in a county final - especially as underdogs, in a replay. May he rest in peace.

🕯️Remembering Michael Coleman, R.I.P 🕯️
Galway GAA are deeply saddened at the sudden and untimely passing of the former Galway Hurling Captain Michael Coleman of the @abbeyknockmoyhc Club.
Michael represented Galway with distinction at Minor, Intermediate and Senior levels. He won an All-Ireland Under 21 Hurling title with Galway in 1983. He went on to play a starring role at midfield when Galway retained the All-Ireland Senior title against Tipperary in 1988.
In an Intercounty career spanning over 10 years, Michael also won three National League Titles including captaining the winning Galway team in 1996. His contribution on the National stage was recognised by his selection on three All-Star hurling teams in 1989, 1990 and 1995.
Michael also represented University College Galway in the Fitzgibbon Cup as well as being the star of the St. Jarlath's College team that narrowly lost the Connacht Senior B Post Primary Hurling Final in 1981.
Michael took great pride in his club and was an important part of the Abbeyknockmoy team which won the Galway Senior Hurling Championship in 1988. When his playing days were over his commitment to the club was unwavering: serving as mentor, coach and officer over the years. Michael was also active within Báireoirí Na Gaillimhe, a group consisting of former Galway hurlers.
Michael was  coach with the Leitrim Senior Hurlers when they claimed the Lory Meagher Cup in 2019.
Outside of the GAA, Michael was a committed community activist involving himself in many activities within the locality.
He will be sorely missed by the Galway GAA community.
Our thoughts and deepest sympathies are with his wife Mary, daughter Sinead and son Dara, his extended family, the Abbeyknockmoy Hurling club and community at this incredibly difficult time.
Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dílis

Funeral arrangements as follows:
https://t.co/9W2PmrpiwP

Grant me O Lord, a hurler’s skill,
With strength of arm and speed of limb
Unerring eye for the flying ball
And courage to match whate’er befall
May my stroke be steady, and my aim be true
My actions manly and my misses few
No matter what way the game may go
May I rest in friendship with every foe
When the final whistle for me has blown
And I stand at last before God’s judgement throne
May the great referee when he calls my name
Say, you hurled like a man; you played the game.

[Edwin McGreal @edmcgreal]

Delighted to see this. One of the greats. He was so giving of his time to all students in Davitt College when I was there and was so helpful to me with my book too. A total gent.

👀 Final PBS/NPR/Marist poll shows Harris wiping out Trump’s lead among men

Trump down from +16 among men last month to just +4 now

Harris still leads among women by double digits (+11)

⛪ Fresh off a campaign stop in Pennsylvania, President Biden just left Mass at Brandywine Catholic Church, keeping up his record-breaking streak as the most church-going president in 70 years.

Meanwhile, Christian are still rallying behind a guy with three marriages, a porn star payout, a rape liability, and a laundry list of felony charges.

Mind boggling stuff.

There’s a Celtic cross in the village that commemorates the Irish Brigade that fought on the side of the French. Known as the Wild Geese, the 4,000 Irish mercenaries played a key role in defeating the British. https://t.co/Ffx4m1M8QI

@JoJoFromJerz Puerto Rico is a predominantly Catholic place, and yet white Catholics are enthusiasticly supporting Trump. Christ died on the Cross for everyone.

"Instead of trying to appeal to the moral consciousness of Donald Trump because I don't believe he has any...Where is your integrity, Marine?
