Sad passing of one of Glenswilly GAA founding fathers, Finbarr Glackin

SUNDAY’S RTE Raidio na Gaeltachta Donegal Senior and Senior Reserve Football Championship Group 1 games between Glenswilly and Malin have been deferred until later in the evening.

The change is as a mark of respect to the late Finbarr Glackin, a founder member of the Glenswilly club in 1982, who passed away after an illness on Thursday.

Mr Glackin, late of Barrack, New Mills, was the President of the Glenswilly club.

The Donegal CCC secretary, Declan Martin, has confirmed Sunday’s senior game will now throw-in at 5:30pm with the reserve fixture getting underway at 7pm at Pairc Naomh Columba, where the flags are flying at half mast (pictured above).

Mr Glackin’s Funeral Mass is on Sunday August 23rd at 1pm in St Columba’s Church Glenswilly with interment afterwards in Kilpheak Cemetery.
