Dark Clouds huddled together
Across the Gweedore sky,
As the sad news slowly filtered,
And everyone asked why?

In the prime of his young life
With all his hopes and dreams,
Was his life cut down so cruelly
Only God knows the answer it seems.

He had achieved so much in his short life,
A pillar of the G.A.A
With pride he wore the jersey
As he delighted us with his play.

He was a hero to all us sportsmen
A giant with a talent so rare,
He will be remembered in our hearts forever
A legend so young and fair.

May the pain of his death drive his team further
To the heights only Hugh could obtain,
And to his family and friends who are hurting
May the esteem in which he was held
Ease their pain.

R.I.P.

HUGH
