Peadar Heffron

Peadar Heffron played both Gaelic football and hurling for the club and twice helped the club to the Antrim Intermediate Hurling Championship title. In an interview with the Sunday Independent, he stated that "his club turned their back on him as he announced plans to join the newly-formed PSNI in 2002." In 2010 Heffron was seriously injured, losing his right leg, when a dissident republican bomb was detonated under his car. Two club committee members who visited Heffron's parents while he was in a coma said "we are not here to represent the club, we are only here in a personal capacity?". The Club refused to comment.
