July 15, 2022
Brendan Óg Ó Dufaigh RIP.
On the eve of the one-year anniversary of his death, Monaghan Harps will honour the memory of the late Brendan Óg Ó Dufaigh.
‘Ógie’ was tragically killed in a car crash on Friday, 16 July 2021, just hours after captaining Monaghan to victory over Donegal in the Ulster U20FC semi-final at Brewster Park.
The first Ógie Commemorative Night has been arranged for this evening (Friday), and will get underway at 7.30pm with the official renaming of the road from Old Cross Square to Monaghan Harps GAA grounds as 'Slí Ógie Uí Dhufaigh (Ógie Ó Dufaigh Way).
At the clubhouse, current Monaghan Harps senior captain Aodan McAnespie will perform the unveiling of a bronze plaque which includes a picture of Ógie with the IFC trophy won in 2020 and the Harps crest.
Ómós d'Ógie, a 300-page book about loss and grief and Monaghan Harps GAA, written by his father Brendan Ó Dufaigh, will be launched, while an exhibition of football memorabilia associated with Ógie will be on display.
