A tight-knit Galway community has been left to deal with a "devastating and tragic accident" after an All-Ireland winning GAA player tragically died during a game with her local club.
Athenry is in a state of mourning after Kate Moran died having suffered a serious head injury during an accidental collision while playing in a senior Camogie game.
It's understood that Kate, who was in her early 20s, was hit by a sliotar and swinging hurley while attempting to block the ball during a league game against Ardrahan.
