“It’s a very sad day for everybody involved in Waterford GAA – particularly the Drummey family – due to the sad passing of our groundsman Ollie Drummey yesterday at Fraher Field. Ollie had been groundsman there himself for the last 30 years and his father before him – Tom Drummey – was synonymous with Fraher Field. The Drummeys, Ollie and Tom have given decades of service to us – and speaking to everyone since the news of Ollie’s’ passing broke – everyone has just been shocked and numbed by it”, said Moore.

We send our deepest condolences to Ollie Drummey’s family and friends at this time.
