On Sunday Louise Cantillon found herself in unusual circumstances watching her boyfriend, Limerick captain Declan Hannon, through the television as he raised the Liam MacCarthy Cup and gave a moving speech to an all but empty Croke Park.
Limerick’s All-Ireland victory in a year of COVID disruptions was a ‘non-comparable experience ‘ to their 2018 win she told EVOKE.
The radio presenter and hurler have been together since they were teenagers and it was from their native Limerick, where they have lived together for the past four years, that Louise watched Declan’s compelling speech.
Describing the experience Louise said, ‘It felt totally different. It was a non-comparable experience to 2018.’
