    From Irish Independent:

    A YOUNG Irish sports star died yesterday as his family and friends watched him raise funds for charity by running in the Barcelona Marathon.
    Primary school teacher Colin Dunne, from Rahan, near Tullamore, Co Offaly, is believed to have suffered a heart attack just five miles from the finishing line of the 26-mile race.
    The 27-year-old, who was captain of the Shamrocks senior hurling and football sides, had travelled out to the Spanish city with four members from the Rahan-based club to raise money for the Offaly Hospice.

    Thats sad, tragic even. The Man was obviously a bit of a Legend. Im sure his name will go down in Offaly history as a Hero.
