This is the heartbreaking scene as friends and team-mates paid a tearful tribute to tragic Tomas Maguire.

The 24 year old Ardara man was killed in Australia last week in a freak car accident.

Friends of the much-loved Donegal man at Donegal GFC in Boston, where he played for a time, placed his number two jersey on the sideline before the game.

His friends then held a minute’s silence before the game as Donegal took on Armagh at the Irish Cultural Centre.

A spokesperson for Donegal Boston paid tribute to Tomas and remembered a “loveable character” and a “great friend” who was taken form them all too soon.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of Tomas. May he rest in peace,” said the spokesman.
