Sympathy to Goss family

HURRICANE Ophelia and Storm Brian dictated the outcome of many sporting events in the week just past with almost the entire country going into lockdown on Monday and Saturday last.

All schools and businesses closed and most sporting and social events were cancelled. As it turned out it was the south and west who bore the worst of the weather system with the east and north getting off relatively unscathed.

There was however a terrible tragedy in Ravensdale where former Pats player Fintan Goss lost his life when his car was hit by a fallen tree.

I knew Fintan and he was a lovely lad. He was a brother of former Louth full back and captain Colin.

I extend my deepest sympathies to his wife and family.
