Many tributes have been paid to a young Offaly GAA player who died suddenly at home this week.
Mark Lee, who lived in Mucklagh just outside Tullamore, played football and hurling for his local club Shamrocks. He won a MFC medal in 2018 and played in the Rahan-parish club's recent JFC 'C' final loss to Ballyskenach/Killavilla.
“Shamrocks GAA Club wish to extend their deepest condolences to the Lee family, in particular his parents Noel and Niamh and sisters Sarah and Ava, on the sudden passing of Mark," a club statement read.
“Mark was a very valued dual player in our club and played for Shamrocks in all grades in both hurling and football. He was part of the team that won the Minor Football Championship in 2018 and only recently was part of the Junior C football team who were beaten in the County Final.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with the family at this sad time. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.”
