Sean O’Donovan, RIP: We were dismayed to learn of the passing of our great clubman, Sean O’Donovan late of the Bantry Road and Glasheen in Cork. Sean had an illustrious career in the Scorchers green jersey, winning a Tom Barry Cup as an U14 in 1971. He was a part of an outstanding minor team which defeated Castlehaven in a West Cork final in Aughaville in 1974. Another minor medal followed in 1976 with Junior 2 league and championship medals alongside a dominant U21 championship victory in the miracle year of 1977. The high point was the capture of the Little Norah Cup in 1981. Sean had a starring role on that team alongside his great friend Denis Collins, to whom we also send our sympathy. Sean who had started as a centre forward in his younger days had transformed into a teak-tough centre back whose ability to read a game and launch counterattacks was second to none. He was a tough but fair opponent and was respected by all he faced. He never lost contact with his home place and always followed the fortunes of the Scorchers with close interest. He had a lovely gentle demeanour and was always ready to stop and have a chat with young and old alike. Sean had a marvellous singing voice and was always ready to oblige with a song when called upon.We send our sincere sympathy to his wife Eilish, his sons Rory, Cormac, Shane and Darragh and his sisters Deirdre, Maureen, Ger and Una, their extended families and all who knew and loved him.
