Tributes have been made to Monaghan’s under 20s Captain Brendan óg Duffy who was killed in a road collision last night.
The 19 year old died after two cars collided on the N2 in Tullybuck in Clontibret at 11.20pm.
It is believed he was returning from playing in the Ulster football championship semi-final against Donegal.
His club Monaghan Harps have paid tribute to the teenager tweeting “Our club is devastated at the news of the untimely death of our senior player and county U20 captain Brendan óg Duffy.”
