GAA plans minute’s silence for lake victim

CAVAN GAA will hold a minute’s silence at all matches in the county over the weekend as a mark of respect to Simon Delaney, who died trying to save six people on a local lake on Wednesday night.

“Simon had played in goals for the Cavan Minor team in 2005 and Under-21 teams in 2007 and 2008 and was a quiet, unassuming young man,” said a county spokesman.

“He will be sadly missed by his family, relatives and friends and all in Killinkere GAA.”
