It is with profound sadness that Monaghan GAA has learned of the passing of Stephen Gollogly.
Stephen was a proud Carrickmacross Emmets clubman who represented Monaghan with immense pride, commitment and distinction throughout an outstanding inter-county career. A true servant of the county, he made 133 competitive appearances in the blue and white between 2004 and 2017 contributing 3-71 and earning the admiration and respect of teammates, opponents and supporters alike.
His achievements on the field were significant. Stephen played a key role in Monaghan’s memorable Ulster Senior Football Championship triumphs in 2013 and 2015, while also helping the county to Allianz Football League Division Two titles in 2005 and 2014, and the Division Three title in 2013. He was a dependable and inspirational figure whose dedication to the Monaghan jersey never wavered.
Beyond his many accomplishments, Stephen will be remembered as a gentleman, a loyal clubman and county player, and someone who embodied the very best values of the GAA through his humility, sportsmanship and unwavering commitment.
Monaghan GAA is deeply grateful to Stephen for his exceptional contribution to Gaelic games and for the lasting legacy he leaves behind, both on and off the field.
On behalf of everyone in Monaghan GAA, we extend our sincere and heartfelt sympathies to Stephen’s family, friends, former teammates, and to everyone in Carrickmacross Emmets GAA Club who mourns his passing.
May the cherished memories of Stephen bring comfort to all who knew and loved him.
