The club expresses it’s full support at this time to Senior player @LeeChin8 after yesterday’s disgraceful scenes in Carrick-on-Suir. Lee has been a superb player for us for over 20 years, is a fantastic clubman & a hugely positive influence on our young boys & girls. 1/2

On this very sad & devastating day, we can remember John Harrington on what was one of our club’s greatest days. Big Harry was an inspirational & motivational leader, who always led from the front. We’ll always remember him with this smile on his face!! He will be sadly missed.

Congratulations this morning to @LeeChin8 on the news that he has been awarded an All Star Award for 2019, becoming the 4th Harrier to do so. It couldn’t happen to a better more dedicated player and is well deserved. Well done Lee, you’re a credit to club, County & family.

It’s with heavy hearts that we hear of the sudden death of former player John Harrington. A battler, a warrior, a teammate & friend to so many in the club. He was an inspirational captain when we last won Senior Hurling in 2001. Sleep well Big Harry, you will be sadly missed.

Poignant, respectful and heartwarming letter in @Wexford_People this week from 17 year old minor star Cillian Boggan in tribute to Harriers and @SarsfieldsGfc legend the late John Harrington. Though years apart in terms of age, the respect Big Harry had in both clubs is obvious.
