Dick and Enid Eyeington were at Waterford for a long time. They lost their lives tragically in Somalia in 2003. Having been, amongst other things, a soccer enthusiast and coach at WK, the Dick Eyeington 7-aside soccer tournament is considered a fitting tribute for this great man and his wife.
For those of you who will be attending the reunion, I will send you details on the Eyeington cup. We can start to form teams then and expect a weekend of pure bliss.
