“On behalf of everybody at County and on my own personal behalf I would like to take this opportunity to extend our sincere sympathy to Paddy’s wife Rita and the Comerford Family on their sad loss. Paddy’s beloved parents were neighbours of mine at Alverna. Not only was Paddy an excellent umpire and singer he was part of a famous Sunday’s Well front row of Attridge, Comerford and O’Callaghan, more than a match for the Pontypool front row!”
— Mortimer Kelleher, President Cork County Cricket Club
