FAI stops using nets involved in boy’s death

TARGET netting similar to that involved in the death of a 10-year-old boy on Thursday will not be used in FAI-run soccer camps in the “immediate future”.

While the camp at Holycross in Limerick was not an official FAI scheme, the association yesterday said the netting would not be used as a mark of respect.

Andrew Fitzgerald, the “sports mad and hugely talented” only child of Pat and Miriam Fitzgerald, died after being struck on the head by falling goalposts.
