Funerals will this week be held for the two young men who died in crash involving a car and a tractor in County Mayo over the weekend.

13-year-old James Daniels and 19-year-old Harry Fagan were fatally injured when the car they were travelling in collided with a tractor on the N83 at Lavallyroe in Cloonfad.

A third teenager who was also travelling in the car remains in serious condition in hospital, while a man in his 50s who was driving the tractor suffered non-life-threatening injuries in the crash.

It is understood the three boys were travelling to watch the Cloonfad United FC senior team play Skyvalley Rovers – a match that was abandoned when news of the tragedy emerged.

In a post on Facebook, Cloonfad United said the entire community was in “complete shock, numbness and disbelief”.

“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” they said.

“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.”

In a separate post, James’s mother Karen Cunniffe wrote: ‘Our sweet baby James has left us for an adventure beyond our comprehension. Our love for you is infinite James.’

James will be laid to rest on Tuesday afternoon after a funeral service which gets underway at St Patrick’s Church in Cloonfad at 12 noon.

Harry’s funeral mass will take place at the same church the following day at 12 noon.
