Ulster GAA has led the tributes to GAA stalwart and Clones groundsman Tommy McCabe who passed away yesterday.

The late Tommy was a permanent fixture at St Tiernach's Park on match-days and served as groundsman at the famed Ulster GAA ground for over three decades.

At this year's provincial football finals, Ulster GAA honoured Tommy's many years of service with a half time presentation.

Tommy followed on from being a brave number 1 custodian on the senior team to being custodian of St Tiernach's Park. Ulster Finals will not be the same without him.https://t.co/ngJbEeG28A pic.twitter.com/aiOw37nq9e
