Midleton GAA club has led the tributes as the east Cork town mourns the death of teenager Kacper Kozlowski, who has fought a brave battle with osteosarcoma, a type of bone cancer, since he was just 12.

The popular sport-loving boy was bouncing on his trampoline in 2020 when he noticed a pain in his leg. Tragically, rather than an injury, osteosarcoma was diagnosed at the emergency department in Cork University Hospital.
