Monaghan GAA extends its sincerest condolences to the family of Mattie Lennon, who sadly passed away today. Mattie was involved with the Monaghan Senior Hurling Team in 2011 before taking over as manager in 2012. He will be fondly remembered for his infectious grรก for the game, and in particular for his commitment to its development in Ulster. A man who always had a positive attitude to people he met and players he coached, may he rest in peace ๐Ÿ™ Ar dheis Dรฉ go raibh a anam

Very sad to hear of the passing of Mattie Lennon. RIP. An absolute gentleman and a great champion of hurling and Gaelic games. Some good and not so good memories of playing against him but all great memories of meeting him off the field.
