Theree was a great sense of sadness and regret in Rhode, Co Offaly last week after the tragic death of a talented footballer goalkeeper and very popular local man, Dean Morris.
News of his death last week stunned the local community. He was a very well-liked individual and Dean and his family were immersed in Rhode GAA Club. 29 years of age, he was an employee at KBC bank in Dublin.
A steady pair of hands in the goals, he played a number of senior football games for Rhode and was between the posts in 2019 when they lost to Ferbane in the Senior Football Championship final. The consistency of Ken Garry meant that he was usually the understudy for Rhode seniors but he could always be relied on when called upon.
