A large crowd attended a vigil held at Tipperary GAA club Clonoulty-Rossmore last night for the club captain Dillon Quirke who died on Friday after he collapsed playing for the club in a Tipperary SHC match with Kilruane MacDonaghs.

The club tweeted: "Thank you for all the kind messages. Maybe in time these will provide some comfort. For now, we are beyond despair."
