A young Larne FC fan’s take on a popular traditional song has become a hit on TikTok.

Lucie Ward (11) penned new lyrics in support of the Inver Park side to the tune of Kingfishr’s ‘Killeagh’.

The clip of Lucie playing guitar and singing her version was reposted to over 26,000 viewers by the club, who stated: “We love it Lucie! Thank you for all of your support.”

A season ticket holder and long-time fan, Lucie attends as many Larne FC events and matches as possible.

The St Killian’s pupil, who is a member of Larne Lions and the NI Cerebral Palsy football teams, has also been playing guitar for about a year.

Her story is particularly special to her family, said her aunt, Sarah-Jane: “[Lucie] was born two months premature, weighing just 2lb 3oz. Her chances of survival at the start of her life were very slim.

"Seeing her now thriving, playing the guitar, and confidently sharing her music has made us immensely proud.”
