Our sympathy and thoughts are with Jack’s family and friends. May he rest in peace. This is a terrible tragedy for the Kenneally family, our school and our community.

Jack will be greatly missed by his fellow students and teachers".The boys both played on the Ennis Rugby team and this morning, a heartfelt tribute was shared from the club's official Twitter account.
Jack and Shay
Our brothers in arms. Our warriors when the going got tough. Our leaders when the pressure came on. Our pride when they took the field. Our joy when they lit it up off the field. Our devilment when it all got too serious. Our gentlemen always. Our terrible loss. pic.twitter.com/W1Qp9PZrIa — Ennis Rugby Club (@EnnisRugby) June 1, 2018
