RIP Seán Rice

Everyone at CLG Aontroma would also like to extend our deepest sympathies and condolences on the sad passing of Seán Rice. Our thoughts with his family and wider circle.

Seán was a decorated dual star for both club and county in his day. A fantastic representation of what it means to be a Saffron.

Seán Hurled and played Football for Antrim in the 1960s and was an Ulster finalist in football and a double Ulster winner in hurling at minor level.

In 1964, Seán scored in every game that summer which led to Antrim beating Armagh 2-06 to 1-08 in Casement Park in the Ulster quarter finals. Antrim were beaten by Down in the semif final who had many men that had All Ireland titles in 1960 and 1961.

This did not deter Seán Rice who continued to play county to 1967 and club football until 42 and hurling until he was 50 with his beloved club Eire Óg. A true Saffron Gael.

Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam, Sean.
