Tributes have been pouring in for Caolan Finnegan following his death aged 20
Kieran Donaghy has told how Caolan Finnegan helped inspire Armagh to All-Ireland glory weeks before his death.
"We are so proud of you Caolan. A true Ranger. You will be forever remembered as one of the greatest who ever donned the black & amber. Forever in our hearts. Rest in peace Stringer." Affectionately known as ‘Stringer’, Finnegan played for the South Armagh club as recently as last year’s Championship opener against Clan na Gael.
At Armagh’s press conference after their All-Ireland final win over Galway, Oisin O’Neill, Caolan’s cousin, wore a t-shirt to promote the campaign with Kieran McGeeney stating that Caolan Finnegan would have been part of the Orchard squad this season had it not been for his illness.
