The Union was saddened to hear of the passing of Tommy Boylan, class '56

Tommy arrived at Knock in the footsteps of his brothers Eamonn '43 and Joe '46 and immediately made his mark in all aspects of College life, but especially so rugby, where he excelled at full-back for both '55 & 56 SCT campaigns, which culminated in Leinster caps as pictured above.

He remained Knock to the core till the very end, and we were very touched to receive this message from his daughter Michaela -

The Knock colours are on his coffin as he lies in church tonight. Still trooping the colours.
