Last month it was Marley that was gone, this month the departure of Henk Van Gerwen from the mushroom scene must also count as a grievous blow to the mushroom industry, both in Ireland and throughout Europe.
We know Henk has hung up his consultancy boots to go into beekeeping. Stalker is still keeping an ear out to find out what Bernard Connolly is turning his hand to.
At the moment it would seem golf has captured Bernard’s heart – in the mould of Rory McIlroy and Darren Clarke, Bernard can be seen whacking balls far into the distance.
Stalker hopes both men find a happy niche following their exits from the mushroom industry.
