A Meath GAA club is in mourning following the sudden passing of one of its players.

Simonstown Gaels has paid a heartfelt tribute to Conor Ahern who passed away unexpectedly on Monday morning. He was a very popular young man who also represented neighbouring Navan O'Mahonys in hurling.

“Simonstown Gaels GFC is deeply saddened to learn of the sudden and tragic passing of Conor Ahern on Sunday evening," his football club posted on social media.

“Conor came up through our underage ranks before rejoining the club recently at adult level, lining out with our Men's 2nd and 3rd teams. Just last week, he was part of the team that helped secure a win away to Summerhill.

“Conor will be sorely missed by his teammates and friends throughout the Club.

“Our thoughts and deepest sympathies are with the Ahern family at this incredibly difficult time. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dílis.”

Conor is survived by his parents Anne and Daniel, brother David, nephews Bobby and Theo, extended family and a wide circle of friends.
