- Dillon Quirke passed away not long after setting up a teammate for this goal in Semple Stadium last Friday. Hard believe in a few moments how life changed. The Clonoulty captains name will forever live on. May he rest in peace #Hurling

- "We watched the football on Thursday night and saw how they played with such passion.." the Ireland rugby captain after beating Australia in the Aviva gives a nod to how his side wanted the crowd cheering like the Republic had this week #rugby
00:00 - "Tomorrow is never guaranteed.." Blown away by the sheer brillance of this poem about Dillon Quirke written by James McKeon...this was live on radio tonight at half time. Hurley hitting ball is the sound in the background. Listen to the words of 'In The Grey' Just class šš š
00:00 - So sorry to hear the tragic news about Tipp hurler Dillon Quirke. Life is too short. A genuine fella who gave his all ln the hurling field. Cruel loss to family & friends. Sympathy to all at @ClonRossGAA RIP.
