I had so much fun playing juniors lacrosse at Staples Road under Gerry's coaching, however when I moved schools and regular football and cricket matches cropped up on Saturdays, I stopped playing lacrosse for a good couple of years between age 11-13. I returned to a training session one Sunday, knowing that this disappearance would be overlooked and I would be welcomed back with open arms. I saw Gerry with a beaming smile, and he called out - "Dom's back! And he's brought an extra 12lbs with him!" - referring to my slight increase in plumpness. It was as much as I expected and probably deserved, but typified the friendly, straight talking Gerry that made so many friends across the sport and beyond.

Christmas meal in 2017 following a narrow loss to EG 'A' which Gerry was able to come and watch. Always a pleasure to have him on the sidelines and to be able to discuss the game with him afterwards. I can be glad he was able to make it down to games over the last few years, but he will be sorely missed in the years to come.

LSummer 2003 - Final pop lacrosse game before a big group of us left for secondary school. Gerry has been instrumental in bringing people together and forging lifelong friendships for so many. I still meet up with those who I played with at junior school, and in the current club I am surrounded by players who are primarily friends, and who have been moulded in Gerry's image; kind, fair, and passionate.
