Longford and Roscommon clubs to clash in Henry Kenny Memorial Match this Sunday

A memorial game of football in memory of the late Henry Kenny, will take place at the St Faithleach’s grounds on Sunday, April 13. 

Henry was a stalwart for his home club of Cashel throughout his playing career and following his moving to Cloontuskert he gave his adopted club unbelievable allegiance and he quickly became a feature of the club no matter what they were doing. 

He never shirked hard work and could be seen doing any of the menial jobs at any time or meeting and greeting dignitaries or working with teams on the same day. No job was too big or too small for Henry.
