The death has taken place after a long illness of Paddy English, father of Limerick All Star corner back Richie. A stalwart of the Doon club for many years, he passed away just hours after his son had helped the county to a first league title since 1997. Limerick manager John Kiely, speaking to the Limerick Leader, paid tribute: “I was only talking to Richie about his dad on Sunday evening. Reposing at White’s Funeral Home in Doon on Tuesday evening from 5.30 with removal at 8 to Doon church. Requiem Mass on Wednesday at 11.30 with burial afterwards in Doon cemetery.
