There was grief and shock throughout Drumalee, Belturbet and Ballyconnell following the sudden death of Colum Curry following a short illness. Colum played for Kildallan for many years, was club president, and had a great interest in the GAA throughout his 79 years. Whilst living in Toronto, he was involved with the Garryowen football club over there, captaining them. At Colum's removal, members of Kildallan, Ballyconnell and Belturbet Rory O'Moore's formed a Guard of Honour - a fitting tribute as he had served all three clubs well.
