A tribute to Mick Feerick - a life dedicated to his club
Mick's contributions to our club were immeasurable, his tireless dedication and work ethic spanning decades and leaving an indelible mark on our organization's history. From his early days as Club Treasurer (1987-1992) to his later roles as Underage Secretary and Vice Chairman (1999-2008), Mick consistently exemplified exceptional leadership and unwavering commitment. In 1991, Mick served as Joint Treasurer of Multy, showcasing his financial acumen and ensuring the club's stability during a crucial period. Later, with St Fintan's/Multy, he held the role of Vice Chairman in 1999, 2000, and 2001, followed by his term as Secretary in 2002 and 2003. His contributions extended to representing Multy as a Co Board delegate, where he championed the club's interests and actively engaged in broader decision-making processes. Additionally, his work at the underage level during the first decade of the 2000s highlighted his dedication to nurturing young talent and fostering a vibrant future for the club. Mick’s financial stewardship during his tenure as Treasurer (1987-1992) expertly managed resources, laying a solid foundation for future success. In his subsequent roles as Underage Secretary and Vice Chairman, his versatility shone as he dedicated himself to nurturing the next generation of players and driving key administrative and strategic decisions. Beyond his formal positions, Mick’s involvement extended to many vital initiatives. He was a driving force behind the hugely successful Multy Lotto since its inception in 2002, significantly contributing to the club's fundraising efforts. His infectious enthusiasm during the annual Christmas bag pack inspired widespread participation and support. Additionally, his time as a Junior team selector (2006-2007) further reflected his deep-rooted passion for the sport and its players. Mick's legacy transcends balance sheets and meeting minutes; he embodied the very spirit of community and volunteerism.
His steadfast commitment has inspired countless others and set a shining example of what it means to be part of a club.
As we reflect on his contributions, we are reminded that it is the dedication and passion of individuals like Mick that build and sustain strong, vibrant clubs. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.
