We were sad to hear of the passing of Bobby Burke, former Éire Óg & Clare hurler. Bobby won senior championship medals with the Éire Óg teams of ’56 and ’57, and was also an Officer in the club. Bobby was well known and respected also in his roles as County Board Officer and County & Town Council. We offer our condolences to his wife, Nancy, his children, family & friends.
