VILFHA is saddened to hear of the passing of Henry Lenaghan, a tremendous supporter of women’s field hockey. Henry was a skilled field hockey player and umpire. He was devoted to training, mentoring and encouraging field hockey umpires, and especially cherished by FHBC for his devotion to the game. Our thoughts are with Henry’s family and friends.
