Damian Casey has been honoured at tonight's BBC Sports Personality of the year award ceremony.
The Tyrone star passed away earlier this year in a tragic accident in Spain. He was just 28 years of age at the time.
The sharpshooter was one of the stars of the Tyrone team. Earlier this year, mere weeks before his death, Casey scored 0-14 as Tyrone beat Roscommon in the Nicky Rackard Cup final at Croke Park.

It was a touching tribute to the hurler who represented his county more than 100 times during his illustrious playing career.
The lovely tribute earned plenty of praise from Irish viewers.
"Lovely touch seeing Damian Casey remembered at the @BBC Sports Personality of the Year awards," wrote Gavin on Twitter.
While Thomas wrote, "Damian Casey remembered tonight on TV. A small gesture, but important too. It sparks the mind what a loss he’s been. Just so tragic that brilliant young man is no longer with us- and so many others."
In the decade prior to his death, Casey was one of the most prolific forwards in the country and notched over 1,000 points in league and championship action.
