Tributes to young Kerry GAA player Aodhán after tragic death

Tributes have been paid to a young Kerry GAA player who died after an accidental clash during a school final.

Aodhán Ó Conchúir was playing for his school, Pobalscoil Chorca Dhuibhne, against St Brendan’s College, Killarney, in the Corn Ruiseál final on Wednesday when he was involved in an accidental clash of heads.

The 14-year-old was treated at the scene and was brought for medical attention with a suspected head injury to a GP surgery in Dingle. An ambulance was called to transfer him to University Hospital Kerry. However, his condition worsened and he was transferred to Cork University Hospital, where he died on Saturday night.
