Tommy Smyth Snr – R.I.P.
Sincere sympathy is extended to Eileen, Ed, Tommy, girls and the extended Smyth family of Bennettstown, Batterstown and beyond. It is with deep sadness I learn of Tommy Snr’s passing. A quiet, softly spoken gentleman, the last remaining pillar of one of Meath’s great sporting dynasties. His passing marks the end of an era. But…
