Date: 05 Mar 2016 /
Posted by: Communications /

This morning Ciaran Smyth died aged 70. He was the silent godfather of the Limerick Triathlon Club from the late 80s until just recently. In the early days when our membership was low (40s) and sponsorship scarce, he approached me and donated 2000 pounds annually . He asked for nothing in return. We used to call to his house with the only currency we had then ,Hell of the West t’shirts. Hence his children grew up influenced by triathlon. He was the founding director of PJ Matthews locally and was always a strong silent supporter of our sport. He is survived by his wife Christine ,son Melvin and 3 daughters Fiona ,Orla,Jenny. His son -in- law Noel Keane has continued the tradition of silent support. Our club lost a good friend today. (by Mick Griffin)
