Tommy Callaghan, the president of Roslea Shamrocks GAA club, has passed away at South West Acute Hospital. He was 93.

Callaghan was a central figure in the County Fermanagh club's history, both as a player and an administrator. He was a member of the side that enjoyed considerable success during the 1950s.

In a statement, the club described him as an integral part of its development over several decades. He held various executive committee positions and was instrumental in the creation and improvement of the club's playing fields at different locations across the parish.

Callaghan was predeceased by his wife Sheila and son Seamus. He is survived by his children, 19 grandchildren, and 10 great-grandchildren.

During previous interviews, Callaghan had recounted the club's achievements from that era. Roslea won the minor league and championship in 1950 and 1951, and after a period merged with Aghadrumsee, they claimed the junior league and championship in 1954. This was followed by four consecutive senior county championship victories from 1955 to 1958.

He noted that his brother Owenie was part of the Fermanagh team that won the All-Ireland Junior Championship during that period.

The Roslea Shamrocks club said his legacy would endure for decades, and that he would be sorely missed by everyone connected with the club.
