In a special gesture by Limerick GAA, Eileen O'Riordan and her family were allowed some private time with the Liam MacCarthy Cup won in battle by the senior hurlers on Sunday afternoon.
“She used to be hurling with the boys. She was a great hurler. Oh she was tough. She. Was. Tough,” smiled her mum Eileen with Irish pride.
“She is crossing my mind all the time today - but not in a sad way. It’s pity she isn’t here. She would be singing,” added Eileen of her beloved daughter.
