Eddie elected to top post
THE MOUNT Leinster Rangers GAA Club is very proud of
the fact that outgoing club chairman Eddie Byrne was
elected chairman of the Carlow Co Board at the annual
convention in Tinryland GAA clubhouse on Saturday,
December 9.
This is a well-deserved honour for Eddie, from
Cournellan, Borris a man who has represented his club
and county at senior hurling level and was always a hard
man to handle at full forward in hurling or football
whether in the black and red of MLR or in the county
colours.
His election by 35 delegate votes to 29 for John
McDermott (O’Hanrahans) provided Eddie with the
well-deserved honour of the county chair.
Eddie’s election reflect the enormous amount of work
he has put into the GAA both locally and at county level
over the past number of years.
The MLR club wish Eddie every success in what is sure
to be a very challenging role for him over the coming
year.
