RIP: Kilkenny sadness following the passing of highly respected character

The late Willie O'Keeffe

The Kilkenny handball community was left deeply saddened last week following the passing of Kilfane Handball Club President, Willie O'Keeffe.

Willie gave over 50 years service to the club. Along with playing, Willie held numerous roles as Chairman, Secretary & committee member.

The club stalwart also was one of the driving forces when Kilfane Handball Club decided to roof the 60x30 court in the early 1970s.
