A WEXFORD COMMUNITY is in shock following the sudden death of a 16-year-old girl during a ladies football final on Tuesday evening.
The girl collapsed on the pitch during injury time of the football shield final played in Taghmon, not far from Wexford town.
The young girl was lining out with Taghmon Camross GAA in the Girls Minor Division 6 Shield final, when she suddenly collapsed on the pitch.
Her mentors were reportedly unaware of any underlying medical conditions and described her as ‘a really talented girl’.
In a tribute posted on social media today, Taghmon/Camross GAA club described Aoibheann as a “cherished member” of their minor team.
