Former Dublin Gaelic footballer and Ballyboden St Enda’s player Darragh Nelson dies at the age of 36 on Wednesday. All three outlets report that he was part of the Ballyboden St Enda’s team that won the Andy Merrigan Cup in 2016, with Nelson named as the captain.
The Irish Examiner adds that Nelson’s death follows a battle with cancer. The other reports focus on his sporting achievements and the tributes paid after his passing, without detailing the cause. Across the coverage, Nelson is remembered for his role in Ballyboden’s success and for his contribution to Dublin football in his playing career.
