Man killed in football accident to be buried

THE funeral will take place today of a 51-year-old father-of-two, described as a community stalwart, who died in a tragic indoor football accident.

For 10 years, the same group of friends played indoor soccer every Thursday at Whitechurch Community Hall.

However, last Friday, one of the group, Michael Collins, fell against a wall at the community centre, developing a head injury.
