Killarney mourns snooker legend Danny (46)
T
The town of Killarney was left in a state of shock this week following the tragic passing of 46-year-old local man Danny McGough. The well-liked father of three is considered by many to be one of the best snooker players the county of Kerry has ever produced, and his friends at the Cue Club provided a heart-warming guard of honour at his funeral yesterday.
The hugely talented snooker player, who was originally from Loreto Road, took on the great Dennis Taylor when he was just 12 years of age and he went on to become one of the top amateurs in Ireland.
Danny, son of Pat and the late Mary, is survived by his children Jason, Jessica and Matthew, their mother Anne Marie, his brothers Pat, John, Philip, Paul, Kevin, Alan and Brendan, sisters Mary and Rosaleen, brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, nieces, nephews, relatives and colleagues at SPX Flow Technology.
