Tipperary's Sharlene Mawdsley shared a kiss with Tipperary hurler and boyfriend Michael Breen after the Premier County's victory over Kilkenny in the All-Ireland semi-final on Sunday in Croke Park. 

The Olympian had told fans she was travelling to Croke Park for the first time to support her boyfriend Michael - who lined out at corner-back when the Premier County took on Kilkenny and who played an instrumental role in Tipperary's victory. 

In a Q&A with her Instagram followers, Sharlene was asked if she was "Croker bound?"
