The death of a true Gael

The Newtown Blues would like to extend their condolences to the family and friends of Charlie McAllister who sadly passed away  Tuesday 17th April. Charlie was a true gentleman and huge supporter of the GAA. He will be greatly missed on the sidelines of the Ireland, Louth and Blues matches. He went out on a high celebrating a Louth victory. Charlie's passion was to promote the GAA and we hope that we can continue on with his legacy. We were honoured to have Charlie associated with our club and the GAA will greatly miss his contributions.  Charlie ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.





Charlie's Month's Mind mass is on Sunday 20th May at 12 noon in Our Lady of Lourdes Church.
