The death has occurred of Nick Doyle, Raheenahoone, Ballyhogue, who was one of Ballyhogue GAA Club’s “greatest players” and led the team to success in the captain’s role on many occasions.
A native of Carrig, near Bree, Nick, who was affectionately known as ‘Mogue’ began his football career in the 1950s and played until 1967.
He won two county junior football titles with Ballyhogue in 1955 and in 1961 when he captained the winning team.
Nick was captain when Ballyhogue won the first of three county senior championship titles in 1962, ’63 and ’64.
His inter-county career was also noteworthy when he played several games with the Wexford senior football team in National League and championship games.
Nick was widely respected for his exceptional ability in aerial contests – commanding the high ball – and his consistent delivery of high-quality performances throughout his playing days.
