Tribute by Jim Murray, Rising Sun AC
The late Donie Webb RIP, had a lifelong involvement in the competitive and administrative side of athletics.
Coming from a family who were deeply immersed in sport, brothers George, Liam and Joe, having a long association with GAA and Cycling in the Carrigdhoun region of Cork while first cousins Willie and George Webb were leading athletes with Rising Sun AC for many years
His association with sport started at an early age, competing as a cyclist with Riverstick Cycling club, and playing hurling with Ballymartle GAA club
However it was his involvement in the sport of athletics that his excellence came to the fore, firstly as an athlete, and in later years as an administrator
His commitment to Rising Sun Athletics club was total in that he was ever willing to toe the start line, be it a 4 x 100m, interclub or intercounty relay, cross-country or road race
When his career as an athlete ended, he gave his time to administration, firstly as Chairperson of Cork County Board of NACAI, before becoming National Vice-President, then, finally, the accolade of his career,NACAI when assuming the position of National President of NACAI, in 1995
Rest easy now dear friend
