Warm tributes continue to be paid to the former Kilmore and Roscommon gaelic footballer, Don Connellan following his passing.

He led the Gaeltacht outfit to its two Galway senior football championships, in 2020 and 2022, winning the Connacht club championship in 2022.

In a statement issued on social media, Kilmore GAA say they were "shocked and heartbroken" at the news.

The club say that the late Mr Connellan's greatest quality was "the love he had for his family and home. From his childhood in Clooncoose to his life in Moycullen, home and family meant everything to him. Nothing brought him more joy than his regular visits back to Kilmore."
