Tributes paid to Sligo GAA supporter Seán Sweeney

There have been tributes from across the Sligo GAA community following the death of Coolera/Strandhill clubman Seán Sweeney on Sunday.

Seán, who was 74, died following a lengthy illness.

He was a passionate Sliga GAA supporter and was named as the county's best GAA fan in 2015, following a competition organised by the Sligo senior gaelic footballers.

In 2007, Seán entered a sports commentators competition on Ocean (which he won) in the run-up to Sligo's All-Ireland senior football quarter-final against Cork. Listen to his entry here from 07 when he joined Ocean FM's Kevin Blessing on the air.
