GAA Tribute to Dave Ormonde:

"David Ormonde, Leinster

The foundations of An Cumann Lúthchleas Gael are built on volunteer and

community involvement, and these are the traits that David Ormonde

possesses in abundance. His love and passion of the organisation goes back to

the time as a young boy he was able to accompany his father and brothers to

the local field in Blackwater and don the green and gold of his native parish.

Through his employment Dave worked in many counties in the Southeast

where he always contributed to the development of the local club with his

hard work and energy. On returning to his native county Wexford, Dave's

involvement with his new parish Clonard in Wexford town quickly led to the

setting up, along with the dedication of other committed Gaels, of a new club

in the parish called Na Fianna Clonard for the betterment of the young

population and he is still involved to this day.

In his position as Club Chairman, he has guided the club through many phases

and his direction and knowledge has been invaluable down the years with his

focus of the club being the beating heart of the organisation. He has also

served as Chairman of Wexford District GAA and is presently District President.

Dave is one of the longest serving members of Wexford GAA County Board, a

position he has held for almost 50 years, while has also acted as Chief Steward

in Chadwicks Wexford Park since 2002.

It is people like Dave Ormonde who are the life blood of the GAA and this

Award recognises his lifelong contribution and is richly deserved."
