A bittersweet picture leads the Belfast Telegraph – the young widow of a GAA player with the couple’s seven-week old baby.

She says baby Ellen has been a hit with her late father’s teammates.

“She had supposedly big and tough Gaelic footballers cooing all around her. She would have been the apple of Shaun’s eye.”
