Column: Girls unwilling to fulfil their opening league fixture for fear of a trouncing; hammerings aplenty for those who did with more to follow in the coming weeks. Why are adults letting kids down in Irish football once again? https://t.co/9UiGqRBoEW
RIP Zara 😥
Zara Murphy, 13, from Drogheda, died after becoming ill during a football match in the town last week.
She had been playing for the Termonfeckin Celtic FC under-14 team in a match against Glen Magic last Thursday as part of the Louth School Girls League.
Emergency services were called to the scene. She was brought to Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital where she later died.
A guard of honour was provided by Drogheda councillors along with children and adults from Newtown Blues FC, Glen Magic FC, Termonfeckin Celtic, members of the Irish Soccer Referees’ Society, Drogheda Boys and Girls FC and her primary school, St Oliver’s.
We would like to extend our deepest sympathies to Zara's family, friends, coaches, club and teammates.

Fuck disposable vapes, a greater cunt of a product I've never seen in my whole life. To my eyes, literally designed to poison children. How they were ever allowed to reach the market in this country is beyond me. What the fuck were people thinking.
The stabber: a foreign national. One of the victims: from a migrant family. The heroes who stepped in: Irish, Brazilian & French. Evil & good can come from anywhere
