Jimmy Cleary - President Peake Villa FC - Peake Villa football club would like to pass on their condolences to all the Cleary family and his large circle of relations on the passing of the clubs president Jimmy Cleary. Jimmy was an absolute gentleman to have been associated with, his love for the club was infectious and that rubbed off so many people that have served the club in the past and present. Its not known the amount of players he encouraged and inspired with his knowledge of the game, there was never a cross word heard from Jimmy about any player or committee member. He was just one of lifes true gents, it's been a privilege to have known and worked with Jimmy to help the rise of the club from a rented field to what it is today, a facility the town of Thurles are proud of. Alas Jimmy has passed on and leaves a legacy that will be a torch for the club for generations to come. He now goes on to meet his own inspiration Mary. Thanks for all the special memories Jimmy.

John Butler - PRO Peake Villa FC - Peake Villa FC Club would like to pass on their condolences to the family of John Butler of Kavanagh Place, Thurles. John served as the club PRO for numerous years and was an outstanding officer of the club. John had a brilliant way with the pen to which Peake Villa was always to the fore with local press. John had a great relationship with the Tipperary Star and there wouldn't be a week go by where he hadn't a report on the schoolboys and girl's or the juniors. This was done back in the day when the reports had to be hand delivered to the newspaper office by mid-day Monday.
