Tributes have been pouring in following the death of Ballyragget player and former Kilkenny minor hurler Eoin Bergin.
Described as a "quiet gentleman" and "a great man to see the goal ahead", Bergin was part of the Ballyragget team that made it to the All-Ireland intermediate club final in 2018.
His club wrote on Facebook: "We have no words that could express the blackest of clouds descending on our club and parish upon hearing the untimely passing of Eoin Bergin.
"Our hearts are with Eoin's parents Martin and Noreen, his brother Liam and sister Aisling.
"His sister in law Laura, grandparents, niece, nephew, aunts, uncles, cousins, his extended family and friends, and his team mates in St Patrick's GAA.
"Eoin hurled minor for Kilkenny in 2012 and was part of the St Patrick's GAA teams over the past number of years at underage, minor, under 21, and the adult team through county final highs and lows.
"He had immense pace and was a great man to see the goal ahead.
"A kind, quiet gentleman and a loss that will always be felt by the club and all who had the pleasure to know him."
A number of other GAA clubs have also paid tribute on social media.
