GAA fans from Dublin and Kildare will take part in a minute's applause for tragic Bradley Lowery, the six-year-old boy who passed away following a long battle with cancer.

Bradley, who is from Sunderland, touched the hearts of sporting fans over the last number of months thanks to the relationship he built up with soccer star Jermaine Defoe- his favourite player for the Black Cats.

Having been diagnosed with neuroblastoma, a rare form of cancer, when he was just 18 months old, Bradley battled through the disease until he passed away last week.

Sports fans all over the world have been offering different types of tributes to Bradley in the last number of days, and a minute's applause during this Sunday's Leinster SFC will be the latest of them. The gesture is being organised by Dublin supporter Denis Finnerty and is scheduled to take place in the sixth minute of the game.
