Despite having three All-Ireland hurling medals at home in Caherdavin, William O’Donoghue says life hasn’t changed much since he was a young fella knocking around a sliotar with teammates Cian Lynch and David Dempsey in Ardscoil Rís, Limerick.

“I definitely don’t suffer from ‘fame’,” he says. ‘The only time I get recognised is if someone thinks I am Cian Lynch.”
