A charity Gaelic football match and celebration will be held in Garrison on Saturday in memory of Paul Coyle, a Fermanagh GAA figure who died unexpectedly at his home in Swatragh in June 2024, aged 56.

Devenish Masters will play Swatragh Masters, with refreshments and a presentation to follow at the Gillaroo Centre. Funds raised will support Healthy Hearts Healthy Lives and a club heart screening programme planned for next year.

Coyle played Gaelic football for Ulster University Jordanstown, winning the Sigerson Cup and Ryan Cup in 1987, and later represented Fermanagh. He was part of the Fermanagh inter-county management team for three seasons, including the 2008 Ulster Senior Football Championship final run. At club level he was a member of Devenish St Mary's GAA and was involved in five Fermanagh Senior Football Championship titles during the 1980s and 1990s.

Born in Garrison, Coyle married Sally at the Church of St John the Baptist in Swatragh in 1993. The couple first lived in Mountfield, outside Omagh, before settling in Swatragh. He is survived by his wife and their children Peadar, Niall, Fergal, Aoife, Emer and Meabh.

In 2013 he was appointed General Manager of Northern Counties Co-Op Enterprises Ltd.
