Sporting events across the country and the world remembered those who fell victim to the Creeslough explosion on Friday.
As a sign of respect, all sporting events in the county were postponed at the weekend, but there was plenty of respect shown outside of the county and outside of Ireland.
In Tallaght yesterday, Shamrock Rovers and Shelbourne observed a minutes silence in memory of those who lost their lives in the tragedy.
The silence was observed impeccably inside Tallaght Stadium by players, staff and fans of both sides who paid tribute to the 10 victims.
Donegal GFC in New York, who welcomed Convoy over in June of this year, had a minutes silence before their game with New York GAA yesterday in the county final.
10 candles were also lit to commemorate the victims.
At the New York county final today they had 10 candles for each of the victims in Cresslough. Let’s keep them in our prayers. 🙏🏻🕯 pic.twitter.com/FiEULp8Yk2
