THERE were joyous scenes in Limerick city on Monday night as an estimated 20,000 people turned out to welcome home the four-in-a-row All-Ireland champions.
Unlike All-Ireland final Sunday, the weather played its part ensuring there was a party atmosphere in Pery Square where a stage was erected for the special occasion.
Large crowds gathered from 5pm to greet the boys in green as they returned home having beaten Kilkenny by 30 points to 2-15 at Croke Park just over 24 hours earlier.
The homecoming celebrations continue this Tuesday evening with Patrickswell GAA club hosting an event for it's local hurling heroes - Cian Lynch, Diarmaid Byrnes and Aaron Gillane.
The free event kicks off 6pm.
