Bowling notes~John Sheehan. Mallow and Ballyclough, one of the great characters of bowling passed away recently. Coming from a family steeped in the tradition of bowling, he was well known in the game and beyond. A member of the north east region, he played many championship and tournament scores during his career. He was also a member of the Denis Horgan bowling club~Banteer, involved in many competitions. He was awarded the Hall of Fame from the club in 2008 and in later years he became one of the Vice-Presidents of the Banteer club.In later years, he kept up to date on the bowlers that he knew and followed their activies on the bowling circuit. Always had a word for everyone, young and old. He kept up to date on current affairs, with also a great wit that could entertain a crowd at the drop of a hat, making him popular with everyone that he knew. The bowling fraternity would like to extend their deepest sympathy to his family, neighbours and many friends. May he rest in peace
