Kiltannon Stables

12/08/2024

The team at Kiltannon were gutted to hear the passing of Joe Simpkins(brother Jo) and wish to send our condolences to Joes family and friends.

When Joe was playing rugby for Marist a few years back he did a stint at Kiltannon and became a great part of the team, not only was he a great worker but so much fun to have around the stables.

Rest Easy Joe
