A foundation set up in memory of a Tipperary hurler who died while in action for his club has raised almost €30,000.

The Dillon Quirke Foundation has been set up in memory of the late Dillon Quirke who collapsed and died of Sudden Adult Death Syndrome (SADS) on August 5, 2022, in Semple Stadium. He had been playing for his club Clonoulty-Rossmore against Kilruane McDonagh in the Tipperary championship.
