Pat Tracey
The Late Pat Tracey

 

The Castletown-Geoghegan club mourned the passing of their club president Pat Tracey in January. In his younger days, Pat was a noted player and was an integral member of the Castletown team that won a three in-a-row of senior hurling championships in the 1950s. He also represented his county in senior hurling and played underage football with Ballinagore. . Other players were Christy Treacy and Jack Treacy.

When Castletown won the first of their three in-a-row in 1956, Pat returned home from England to play in the final against Rickardstown and had an outstanding game, despite being pitted against the legendary John ‘Jobber’ McGrath. Pat’s performance was all the more remarkable considering that he cycled to the gameAfter his playing career ended, Pat served his club as a selector and enjoyed nothing better on the long summer evenings than watching the players train and play hurling. He also enjoyed the underage games and always encouraged the youngsters in Castletown to play hurling.
