Hannah Tyrrell enjoys adorable moment with daughter on stage at homecoming

Hannah Tyrrell enjoyed an adorable moment with her daughter on stage as the All-Ireland winning Dublin footballers were greeted by thousands on Tuesday's homecoming.
The Dublin Footballers climbed to the summit once again as they cruised past Meath in Sunday's decider, with Tyrrell again playing a starring role.
Turning 35 this Sunday and with a young daughter, Tyrrell has opted to wave goodbye to elite sport after a storied career in which she won an FAI Cup, a Six Nations, and two All-Ireland Football titles. Dublin's Hannah Tyrrell celebrates on stage with her daughter Aoife Hannah Tyrrell with her daughter on stage Tyrrell retires from elite sport just days before her 35th birthday Hannah Tyrrell with wife Sorcha and daughter Aoife after Sunday's final
Tyrrell confirmed her retirement post-game, although finishing the Championship as top scorer shows she still would add value to the All-Ireland champions.
Speaking after the game, she told Marty Morrissey, "How lucky am I? I've been lucky enough to be from Dublin, to get to play for Dublin, finish my career at Croke Park, and go out on a high. I'm privileged.
"I'm privileged to be from this wonderful county and represent all these people. I'm looking forward to what's ahead."
Tyrrell isn't the only one who will be stepping away from the panel with Nicole Owens also retiring. Owens has had her fair share of injuries in recent years and an All-Ireland victory while fully fit appears to be a good time to exit.
Speaking to Jerome Quinn after the match she said: "That is me done. I made the decision, win or lose, because I knew that if we didn't get over the line, it would be a hard decision to make. I think the big thing for me today was just to come in and have fun. I did, I enjoyed the crowd. I enjoyed the first-half, not so much the second-half but the first-half I enjoyed."
Attention will now turn to 35-year-old Sinead Goldrick who played a starring role at wing back for Dublin on Sunday, and if she will hang up the boots.

‘Had to be a big boy' – Frank Lampard says he has no intention of swapping Coventry for TV studio despite play-off blow

Lampard worked as a TV pundit last season but prefers the trials and tribulations of managing Coventry frank admission 'Had to be a big boy' – Frank Lampard says he has no intention of swapping Coventry for TV studio despite play-off blow FRANK LAMPARD accepts he is a glutton for punishment. One of the Premier League's greatest ever stars has had to deal with more than his fair share of 'hurt' as a boss having been brutally sacked by both Chelsea and Everton. Advertisement 2 Frank Lampard was left devastated after a last minute Sunderland goal prevented his Coventry side making it to Wembley Credit: Getty 2 Lampard featured regularly as a pundit before joining Coventry Credit: Getty That followed his experience of suffering Wembley play-off final heartache when he was cutting his managerial teeth in charge of Derby. And if that wasn't enough to put him off the managerial lark, he watched on helplessly as Coventry were cruelly defeated in the play-off semi at Sunderland last May. But, no matter, the Coventry boss says he has no intention of swapping cold, wet Tuesday nights in Stoke for the comfort of the TV studio like fellow Prem icons. And nor does Lamps have any plans to work on his handicap on the golf course rather than patrolling the training ground like other ex-pros. Advertisement But, instead, he's relishing the challenge of leading the Sky Blues from the depths of despair to another tilt at Prem promotion. Lampard had to fight back the tears when Cov were dramatically denied a place in the Championship play-off final by Dan Ballard's dramatic last-gasp winner on Wearside in May. The cruel finale meant there was no fairytale ending for the Sky Blues who were 17th when Lampard took charge following Mark Robins' sacking. But, in an exclusive SunSport interview, Lampard, 47, has admitted he can't wait to give it another go. Advertisement BEST ONLINE CASINOS - TOP SITES IN THE UK 'Ex-players have their choices in terms of what they want to do with their lives,' Lampard told SunSport. 'They can play golf, they can go into punditry or they can just go into a different line of work. Emotional Frank Lampard struggles through Sky Sports interview after Coventry's gut-wrenching play-off defeat 'I was 38, 39 I was when I finished and there's still a long way to go in your life and management is my line of work. Advertisement 'And I have to admit I love doing what I do. I love working with the players. I love being on the training pitch. I love working with people. 'Everyone has their choices and I've made my choice and this is a challenging career but there's also a lot of pluses to it. 'I've pitted my wits against elite managers in the Champions League, managed at Chelsea, at Everton and at Derby and every single experience is valuable.' And, win or lose, there seems little chance that Chelsea legend Lampard, who won 11 major trophies in 13 years at Stamford Bridge, will not see things in perspective. Advertisement But surely he found it difficult to pick himself up after what happened at the Stadium of Light? 'Yes and no,' says Lampard with a smile. 'If you ask my wife, she'll say yes, but if you ask me, I've been there before. 'I've had what I think you can describe as a really good playing career and managerial career. 'But within that, there's ups and downs all the time and that comes with the football territory. Advertisement 'There are some things you can't quite control – like the Sunderland game in the end. 'But I've got a bit more balance about things like that at the moment even though they really hurt at the time. 'I had to be a big boy and make sure it didn't ruin my summer and it helps that I've developed a good work-life balance. 'I've got children who are all happy and healthy, so you just keep plugging away, sticking at it, giving it your best shot.' Advertisement And that will mean turning pain into gain at the CBS Arena after the agonising near-miss. 'It was turning into a special story - we were one step away from Wembley and playing really well, particularly in those playoff games,' he added. 'It ultimately came down to small details - chances you don't convert and a header that comes off a shoulder and goes in. 'There was deep disappointment but you get over that because it's football and you have no choice but to start again. Advertisement 'I spoke to lot of people over the summer. I met Coventry fans and neutrals and they all told me how well we'd done. 'That made me feel proud but my job is to understand that the hard work starts again.' Lampard added: 'We'd made all these strides and then when you miss out, you feel as manager of a club that you have a big responsibility in it. 'I still had a relatively good summer because I was with my family and had a break. Advertisement 'But there were things, I was thinking all the time. I'm just thinking how can we do better and how can we try and start the season better. 'I can't wait to get back to the competitive games. I'm raring to go.'

Fine all-round display sees Ireland edge to 11-run victory over Pakistan in first T20

Ireland 142 (19.4 ovs) (A Hunter 37, O Prendergast 29, L Paul 28; F Sana 4-26) beat Pakistan 131-9 (20 ovs) (N Pervaiz 29, R Shamim 27; O Prendergast 3-28, J Maguire 2-20) by 11 runs Ireland earned an 11-run victory over Pakistan in the first of their three-match T20 series in Dublin. Opener Amy Hunter started with intent and top-scored for the hosts with 37 before she was bowled by Nashra Sandhu, leaving Ireland on 63 for two after nine overs. Orla Prendergast (29) and Leah Paul (28) came together and pushed Ireland beyond the three-figure mark before the former fell to Rameen Shamim. READ MORE The boundaries started to come at ease for set batter Paul but her wicket on 108 for four started a collapse. Ireland were looking at a score of upwards of 150 but they lost the final six wickets for just 21 runs as they set Pakistan a score of 143 for victory, Fatima Sana the pick of the bowlers with four wickets. In response, Ireland took wickets at regular intervals and had the visitors 54 for five after 12 overs, which gave Pakistan a mountain to climb. Natalia Pervaiz did her best to guide Pakistan to an unlikely victory with her score of 29 but she chipped Prendergast into the hands of Cara Murray which signalled the end of Pakistan's hopes. Prendergast claimed three wickets and Jane Maguire got two to help Ireland to a well-earned win.

Ireland looking to bounce back from England defeat against Wales

Ireland Boys' Captain John Carroll says the future is bright as his players were resolute in defeat to England on the second day of the R&A Boys' & Girls' Home Internationals in Cork. A youthful looking Irish outfit battled hard against their more experienced opponents with Isaac Oliver (5&4), William O'Riordan (3&1) and Caelan Coleman (3&2) grabbing three precious victories in the afternoon singles. It was a tough day for the combined Irish side, with England claiming a 14.5-6.5 win and while they turn their attentions to Scotland and a winner-takes-all clash tomorrow, Ireland will face Wales looking for more positives. 'It was always going to be tough. We came here knowing that England are probably the strongest of the four home nations but we gave it a good go,' said Carroll. 'We have picked a very young team with a view to giving them experience for next year, we had a disappointing European Championships in Czech Republic where we got relegated to Division 2. 'Hopefully these 16-year-olds, and in one case a 15-year-old, will get the experience to get us back up next year to Division 1. We have got one more chance against Wales so hopefully we will get a positive result tomorrow. Barry O'Connell (Douglas) takes a shot.

Fantastic group, there is never an issue with them, travelling around France, Scotland, England, Spain, all over Europe. 'A great crew, they have built up a great bond and they are a young team. This year wasn't their year but hopefully next year and the year after will see a big improvement. 'Our girls will go out first (against Wales), our girls have been flying, they came third in the European Championships getting a bronze medal, doing the country proud. 'We have got some fantastic girl golfers, they will be leading us out first thing in the morning and then the boys will be out afterwards. 'Hopefully we can reverse the result from today and get a win tomorrow.' Ireland had two victories in the morning foursomes today with Hannah Lee-McNamara and Zoe McLean-Tattan, and Caelan Coleman and Harry O'Hara winning their matches. However, they fell 4.5-2.5 behind and England took control early in the afternoon singles. Scotland also secured their second straight win on Wednesday after a comprehensive 15-6 defeat of Wales. The Scots were 5.5-1.5 ahead following the morning foursomes and won nine of the singles matches to keep their campaign on track. 'Delighted with that, I thought today would be a really tough game and it was but the troops have come through again. Some great golf out there from both teams and very happy to win,' said Scotland Captain Stuart Johnston. 'That (England) will be tough obviously, they are a good team. They have got a lot of great players so we will just go out and do our best, take it match by match. 'If we prevail then that is fantastic, if we don't then we will give it our best shot.'
