The two young Kerry fans captured in a magical picture alongside footballer Louise Ní Mhuircheartaigh say meeting their hero is a moment they will never forget.

Friends Blathnaid O'Sullivan (10) and Ava Grace O'Shea Joy (12) rushed onto the pitch to get an autograph from the forward after Kerry’s All-Ireland quarter-final victory over Meath at Austin Stack Park on Saturday.
