Following Tipperary's win at Croke Park in the All-Ireland semi-final on Sunday, Tipperary hurler Michael Breen took to Instagram to share a a post-match snap of him with his arm around his girlfriend and Tipperary Olympian Sharlene Mawdsley.
He captioned the picture "First time in Croker is it ", Mawdsley later commented underneath the post saying "& not my last " hinting at a trip to cheer on her partner when Tipperary take on Cork in the All-Ireland final.
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?"
To which the 26-year-old Newport athlete replied: "Yess. Looking forward to it!! I've never been to hurling match in Croke Park."
A fifth successive victory propelled 14-man Tipperary into the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship Final, after they beat Kilkenny in an epic semi-final at Croke Park.
Tipperary had heroes all over the field and they ran themselves to a standstill to defeat their ancient rivals in a thrilling contest.
