Buccaneers RFC has paid a fond tribute to ‘Big Pat’ Hynes, who passed away this week. Mr Hynes was a club stalwart throughout his life, as a player, manager, and in a number of other roles. The club this week described him as “a truly iconic figure in Athlone and Buccaneers rugby for many decades. He was undoubtedly the most loved member in the club, although he would surely squirm at that description.”

Oughterard residents lined the streets of the village on Friday to bid farewell to a well-loved local who was at the heart of the GAA.
