TRIBUTES have been paid to the seven year old boy who died as a result of a traffic collision at Lattone Road in Belcoo on Sunday.
Ryan McGovern, who played for Devenish GAA U8 team, was taken from the scene by ambulance under police escort to South West Acute Hospital where he died shortly afterwards.
A spokesman for Devenish GAA extended the club's “sincere condolences” to Ryan's family; Donal, Michelle, Daniel and Ben on the “tragic and untimely” death of the “much loved player.”
“Ryan started playing his football with Devenish at Gaelic Start before moving on to underage level where most recently he lined out for our U8 team. Ryan will be fondly remembered by his teammates and coaches as a tigerish and fully committed forward who gave his all for his team.
