Sad news

> I have just received a note from his widow that Sid Mahony, our 2nd (greatly respected and affectionately remembered) President, died in 2009 aged 102 years!
>
> He had been a member of Dolphin Rugby Club, Cork, Munster as a player before retiring. He then worked for Billy Butlin when Billy built the Resort in West End. Subsequently Sid worked in Freeport for Mr. Diamond whose properties he managed before returning to Ireland.
>
> The last photo I have of him, aged 98, showed him in the company of several other former Dolphin players in their 90s – obviously something in the Guinness.
>
> I’ve written suitably to his widow, Lilian.

> Regards,

> P.S. Sid came to every Freeport home match with oranges for both teams!
