Remembering our Friend, Conor Geoghegan, RIP.
It is with great sadness that we share condolences on the untimely passing of Conor Geoghegan, a very valued former player and highly esteemed former coach of our club, following illness.
Conor was a true gentleman both on and off the field and an excellent individual who embodied the best that football can be.
As a player, Conor excelled in midfield with great skill in reading the game. He had a masterful touch, playing to high personal standards and always contributing with grit and determination to the team and club. Any player encountering Conor will remember his spirit of fair play, but also his absolute determination to succeed. His enjoyment of football and his talent were evident to anyone who saw him play.
Conor went on to represent Cabinteely FC in the Leinster Senior League for five years, and also captained the team for two years, playing alongside his brother and goalkeeper Oisin, and winning the LSL Liam Dodd Cup in 2012. Subsequently, we were fortunate to have him as a coach for our youth players from U16 β U18 Premier where he was an exemplary mentor for our young players.
Conor was skilled, calm, kind, and collected β a coach who earned the respect of players, parents and peers alike. His guidance, quiet strength and ability to inspire young players made him a greatly respected person in our football community. Most recently, he had also skilfully been coaching UCD League of Ireland U14s. Whether through a forceful word of encouragement when needed or his courtesy and kindness to others, Conor helped countless young players grow not just in their football skills but as individuals.
To his beloved wife Muireann, his mother Evelyn, his siblings Γine, SeΓ‘n, Oisin and Fionn, and all his family and his many, many friends, we extend our sincere condolences. His loss at such a young age, with so much yet to live for, leaves a great void for everyone who loved and respected him.
Conorβs legacy will live on through the young players he mentored, and in the many other people he touched in his life through his voluntarism, generosity and warmth. He will be missed by all at Cabinteely
A great strength and conditioning session @bo7_gym for the U14s yesterday! πͺ
