"Aoife was part of our Junior All Ireland winning team in 2005 and Ulster winning team in 2004.
“We would like to send our condolences to Aoife’s wife Karen, parent’s Seamus and Adele, brothers Patrick and Sean, her nieces, nephews and wider family circle. We also keep in our thoughts Aoife’s friends and former teammates in Armagh LGFA and Derrynoose GAC."
