Roger McQuaid RIP: It is with deep sadness that we hear of the death of Roger McQuaid: former Monaghan Harps player, a great supporter of our club and father to Harps players Ciarán, Brendan and Hannah. We extend sympathy to Roger's wife Ann-Marie, his children, his mother Noreen, sister Marion, brothers Jim, Bernard, Paul & Tomás and wider family circle. In recent years, Roger coached some Harps juvenile ladies' teams, so we also extend our support to the Harps Ladies committee & players. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.
Level 5: As we prepare to exit Level 5 restrictions, we ask club members to continue to observe the guidelines and to stay in touch with neighbours who may require assistance during these darker days.
