In Pictures: Limerick team celebrate with their children and families

THOUSANDS of supporters in Croke Park, at home in Limerick and expats around the world jubilantly celebrated the Treaty County's All-Ireland win against Kilkenny on Sunday. 

Perhaps one of the most special celebrations the players were a part of though were with their loved ones on the pitch after they lifted the Liam MacCarthy. 

Players and backroom staff brought their families on to the hallowed ground at Croke Park to share their four-in-a-row win. 

Cian Lynch and his nephews Ché and Seanie shared a special embrace as the captain scooped them up in his arms.

Séamus Flanagan brought son Freddie on to the field and Nickie Quaid's son Daithi also stepped up alongside his dad for a photo.

Team manager John Kiely was in high spirits after the historic win and was all smiles with his wife Louise and their daughters Aoife and Ruth. 

It wasn't just the little ones who were stealing the limelight though as Dan Morrissey was pictured with his ecstatic mother Mairead while William O'Donoghue snapped a pic with his family and girlfriend Gemma. 

Possibly the star of the show was four month-old Paul Kinnerk Jr, son of the selector and his wife Maggie who popped up with his big sister Enya.
