Bridget was a native of Cloone, Co. Leitrim and a huge follower of GAA games. Her late husband Paddy played for Ballivor as did all of her sons. Toby Burke, one of Bridget's sons, was the First Aid officer for the club when they won the Leinster junior championship two years past while he also acted in the same capacity for the Ballivor ladies team in the year gone. Toby's wife Caroline is a former secretary and county board representative of the Ballivor club.
Our thanks to Paddy Doyle who supplied the Ballivor obituaries.
