Martin White RIP

Posted on

Kilmacud Crokes Hurling expresses it sympathy to the White family on the passing of Martin, club vice-President.

Aged 102, Martin, a multiple All-Ireland medallist with his native Kilkenny, was a true Crokes legend.  As trainer, chairman and officer he was one of the mainstays of the Crokes club from the late 1940’s.  Most recently he visited Glenalbyn for the 2009 All-Ireland Hurling 7’s.  For report on this visit see HERE
