Herbie Sharman RIP
January 13, 2016
Everyone in Leinster Hockey was saddened to hear of the passing of former Irish Hockey President Herbie Sharman. A stalwart supporter of the sport, especially Schools hockey, he managed both the Leinster and Irish U18 and U21 squads.
Always generous with his time, Herbie travelled throughout the country and further afield to support our hockey teams - whatever their age.
In recent years, Herbie also officiated at many Interpro tournaments. He will be fondly remembered for his poems and gentle humour.
Our condolences to his wife Tanya, daughter Nicola, son Gary and all his family and friends.
Funeral Service on Friday, 15th January, at 2pm in St Canice’s Cathedral, Kilkenny with burial afterwards in St Kieran’s Cemetery. Family flowers only. Donations, if desired, to the Irish Cancer Society.
