Yesterday, a long standing member of Oisin’s GAA died peacefully at his home in Prestwich. Greg O’Brien has been involved with Oisin’s for over 30 years, as Treasurer, selector and most recently as trainer for the underage branch of Oisin’s North.

Greg’s involvement with the club has been enhanced by the performance of his two sons, Damian and Alex, both of whom played with Oisin’s and achieved many successes. Greg’s wife Rosemary and daughter have also played their part in supporting the club over the years and many players who have been involved with our club will have fond memories of the O’Brien family.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Rosemary, Damian, Alex, Siobhan and all Greg’s extended family at this time.

The funeral arrangements are as follows:
Tuesday 26th January 7pm at Servites / Our Lady of Dolours, 500 Bury New Rd. Kersal M74WP
Wednesday 27th January 9.30am followed by interment at Agecroft Cemetery

Due to Greg's formidable involvement with our club over the years, the committee feel that a Guard of Honour should be present at the service on Tuesday night. This is something that the family would greatly appreciate.

Please contact me to let me know if you would be willing to participate in this on Tuesday. Could all participants arrive at the church by 6.30pm

No flowers please, donations to The Christie Hospital.
