Turley’s namesake, from Downpatrick, is part of the current county panel.
The Saval club member, a former student of Abbey Grammar School, has been taken far too soon and floods of tributes are being paid in his memory.
We offer our deepest sympathies to his family, his club and all his friends and fellow Down gaels.
