Ciara Mageean died this morning. A light has gone out in the world. Authentic, talented, decent. Her kindness and wonderful personality was a joy to watch and see. Then came her iconic sporting achievements.
When we sat down with Ciara for the GAA Social in July, she received disappointing news the day before. Ciara didn’t want to cancel, so we recorded on the Tuesday. It’s 90 minutes Oisin & myself will always treasure. She was the best of us.
To Thomas, I’m so sorry. She was mad about you. To the Mageean family, all her great friends and the Portaferry community- what a stunning human being, to call one of your own. This is so unfair.
I’ve never met a person who met Ciara, who didn’t love her. A one off.
Only 19 and already a rock at the back 💪🔥
1-5 from corner-back and ice-cool under pressure, what a debut season it has been for @officialdonegal's Finnbarr Roarty!
Nominated for an All-Star and YFOTY will he get the nod on Friday? 👀 #PwCAllStars
