Limerick hurling star receives heartfelt best wishes on his wedding day
The wing-forward, who has six All-Ireland medals and three All-Star awards to his name, met Elaine, affectionately known as Lainey, on a night out
LIMERICK senior hurler Tom Morrissey is celebrating a very special occasion this Saturday as he ties the knot with his long-time love, Elaine Dolan.
The six-time All-Ireland winner received warm wishes from his local GAA club, Ahane, as he prepared to say 'I do'.
“On behalf of the club we want to send our best wishes to Tom Morrissey and his wife-to-be Elaine as they tie the knot today!” Ahane GAA Club posted on X and Facebook this Saturday morning.
“We wish you both a lifetime of love, health and happiness together,” the post added.
Tom and his brother Dan have been central figures in Limerick's remarkable hurling success since 2018, when the county ended a 45-year wait for All-Ireland glory.
Both are widely admired for their smarts both on and off the field.
Tom, 30, is a chartered accountant, chartered tax adviser and qualified financial adviser. He currently works as a senior financial planner with SYS.
He holds a Master's in Taxation from the University of Limerick, having previously graduated from UL with a degree in Business Studies, majoring in Accounting and Finance.
The wing-forward, who has six All-Ireland medals and three All-Star awards to his name, met Elaine, affectionately known as Lainey, on a night out.
Speaking to RSVP in 2024, Tom, from Castleconnell, revealed how the couple had been enjoying spending more time together after moving in together the previous year.
“It has been fantastic and it is a big stage in anyone’s life. It is great to see more of her now that she is living here in Limerick with me.
“She wouldn’t have had an interest in hurling before she met me. But hurling is a big part of my life, so it has now become a big part of her life as well. She is a big Limerick supporter now!”
Tom is the latest member of Limerick's senior hurling team to walk down the aisle in recent months.
William O'Donoghue married his long-time love Gemma Cowen in Cashel in September, while Gearóid Hegarty and his partner Niamh McCarthy tied the knot in Portugal in August.
