Some sad news coming out of Clare GAA today with the passing of Jack Boddy, Jack was a young and up and coming coach that was involved with the U20 footballers. We send our deepest condolences to Jack Boddy’s close family and friends at this time.
A search for Boddy was stood down yesterday following the discovery of a body. The search had been ongoing in the Lahinch area since he was reported missing on Monday morning. A post-mortem will now be carried out to determine the cause of death.
The thoughts of all in Clare GAA are with the parents, siblings and extended family & friends of our late colleague, Jack Boddy, this dark St Patrick’s evening.

The thoughts of all in Clare GAA are with the parents, siblings and extended family & friends of our late colleague, Jack Boddy, this dark St Patrick’s evening.
Jack was a much loved friend of many in West Clare, of our senior football management & squad of 2025, & particularly of our 2026 squad of U20 footballers, to whom he was S&C coach, helping guide them to an opening round win on Saturday afternoon last.
Thanks to all the GAA community who joined in the search for Jack over the past few days. As a mark of respect to Jack & his family, next Saturdays U20 match will now be postponed to a later date. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam. Ciarán Céitinn, Cathaoirleach, Ar son C.L.G. Coiste Chontae an Chláir.
