Cormac BRESLIN

on behalf of the BadmintonCentral community:

Cormac is also known as "Mr. Fault" in Badminton Central. Mr. Fault is an BWF accredited umpire and has presided over many tournaments including the 2008 Olympics.

Cormac is known for his non-nonsense strictness even when legends like Lin Dan and Lee Chong Wei are under his watchful eyes.

Cormac has been a BadmintonCentral member since 2004. While not the most prolific of member in terms of post, he made it up with excellent 1st person insight into the matches he umpired as well as sharing his vast umpiring knowledge. It was an honor to have him share with us.

BadmintonCentral offers our condolences to his family.

To the family of Cormac, we will miss him greatly too. I first met Cormac at the Beijing Olympics. As great as that event was, we both went on about how much we missed our families. Cormac has left an impression on those he met. He shared his general understanding of what a good world should be and then exemplified it.

Maureen, Hugh and Oisín,
Our thoughts are with you at this sad time. Cormac's suffering is over and he is now at peace.We know how hard the last few years have been for you all. Your care and kindness to Cormac was evident to all of your family and friends. We will remember you all in our prayers.
Catherine, Edward and family.

You didn't get to do all the things on your bucket list but you achieved and did so much. I will miss seeing you and Rusty in the park but you will be never be forgotten and I will always have a special place in my heart for you.

Only knew cormac briefly while we stood around in the cold while our sons trained or while they got hammered. My deepest sympathies.

It's with great sadness that we received the news of the death of Cormac Breslin. It left all his Belgian colleagues in shock.

He was, without any doubt, part of the league of extraordinary gentlemen. He will be missed for his sense of humor, expertise, friendship and much more.

On behalf of all the Belgian Technical Officials we would like to offer our condolences to his family, his friends, the Irish Badminton Community and the Irish Court Officials.

Kindest regards,
