Sadly Kingscourt and Cavan's Joe McCarthy passed away last night at the age of 43. Man of the Match in 1991 County final at the age 18/19, went on to represent Cavan and Kingscourt for many years. A gentleman and man who spent countless countless hours working behind the scenes for the betterment of Cavan GAA. Heavily involved with the cavan u21 teams who won 4 ulsters in a row. Extremely intelligent and his knowledge of the GAA was second to none. Joe will be sadly missed by everyone in Cavan GAA circles. theDagger1986 (Cavan) - Posts: 181 - 13/11/2016 12:37:44 1933912 Link 2 |

Received a text a short while ago informing me of the passing of a great friend and as I have mentioned in many posts he had a fantastic football brain and memory. I got to know Joe through what I do and I can tell you his loss to Cavan is second to none. He has left a huge legacy behind him especially with those that came to the county through the U21 panel and I am sure everyone of them to a man will be sad to see and hear off Joe's passing. Safe journey my friend it was a pleasure knowing you Cavan loss is the next worlds gain. R.I.P Joe Sean O'Rinn The Quiet Man (Cavan) - Posts: 4601 - 13/11/2016 14:37:33 1933929 Link 3 |

Deeply saddened to hear the news. Joe was an excellent template for young coaches in Cavan to base themselves on. A very humble and decent man. Reformation (Cavan) - Posts: 356 - 14/11/2016 07:37:50 1934046 Link 0 |

Was shocked to hear this news about Joe, hadn't seen him in years, coached him in college back in UCD, he was a great chap back then, obviously only in his late teens but he was very mature and a great character, very popular in UCD, my sincere condolences to his family.
