"James Daniels was a member of our u14 squad that recently won the RDYSL Division One championship and he scored a number of goals during their campaign. James loved being with his teammates and friends and had a lovely friendly personality to match.
"Harry Fagan played for Cloonfad all the way through our underage program . Playing mostly in the midfield he always gave his best.
"Of course people involved in the game locally would be well aware of the Fagan name. They have given so much to our club in various different platforms and are so generous with their time to all local volunteer groups.
"Our hearts are broken for both families and we send our prayers and support to the Daniels, Cunniffe, Fagan, Moran and Reinhardt families."
