Una Bowden, 47, and her daughters Ciara, 14, and nine-year-old Saoirse, died when the car they were travelling in collided with a truck on the N17 near Claremorris.
Speaking to RTÉ's Morning Ireland, Oughterard Rugby Club PRO Julie Ann Brown said:"We are all devastated in Oughterard Rugby and in the wider community. Ms Brown, who also knew the family through her work in one of the local primary schools, said the family were multi-talented and as well as their sporting accomplishments had also been involved in music and choirs locally.
"They were very quiet girls, yet they had this beautiful energy about them and their smiles really lit up the rooms and the playing fields and every photo we have of them through the Oughterard girls' rugby is of them smiling.
