Yet ANOTHER young footballer suffers sudden death

Tributes from across Co Armagh have been paid to talented football player Oisin Fields, who passed away suddenly on Wednesday.

Mr Fields has been described as a “genuine, humble and positive guy” by his employers McElmeel Mobility Services Ltd, while sports clubs across the county have expressed condolences to his friends and family.

The Armagh man is to be laid to rest on Saturday, as the grassroots Lonsdale League cancelled cup fixtures as a mark of respect to him.

His current team Navan Harps described being “devastated” at the loss of a “friend and teammate”.

“We extend our sympathy and support to all his family and friends at this time,” they said.
