Sharlene Mawdsley steps out with All-Ireland winning partner at Tipp homecoming
Tipperary celebrated their All-Ireland win in style at Semple Stadium this evening as over 40,000 supporters turned up to cheer on their heroes at the homecoming. It was a very busy day for the men in blue in gold, a day which started with a visit to Crumlin Hospital as Liam MacCarthy was introduced to some brave little Tipp fans. The team then made the journey back home in the evening and rocked up to Semple Stadium at around 8.15pm following an evening of entertainment which included a performance from Una Healy. On stage, the team soaked in the adulation from the fans as they celebrated their win with friends and family. Adding star power to the occasion was Sharlene Mawdsley. The Tipperary native and Olympian appeared on stage with her partner, Tipp defender Mikey Breen, and the pair were captured in a lovely photograph showing the two of them holding the Liam MacCarthy Cup. For Sharlene, Sunday's win would have been a poignant one as her father passed away suddenly at the beginning of June. Mawdsley and Breen have formed something of a sporting power couple in recent times, with the sprinter going 'Instagram official' with the Tipp defender at the beginning of the Summer. Yesterday, Mawdsley took to Instagram in the wake of Tipp's win, sharing a photo of herself with Breen on the Croke Park pitch along with the caption "Proud of you every day, but that little bit prouder today."

Sharlene Mawdsley to cheer on GAA star boyfriend in All-Ireland final
Irish Olympian Sharlene Mawdsley will likely be in attendance as she cheers on boyfriend Michael Breen in Sunday's All-Ireland Hurling final. Breen has been a mainstay in Tipperary Hurling through the years and is named to start against Cork in the eagerly anticipated final. Cheering him on will be relay star Mawdsley, who recently went public with the relationship. The 400 metre specialist revealed that she recently attended her first ever hurling match in Croke Park when she went to the All-Ireland semi-final win over Kilkenny and promised it won't be her last. Michael and Sharlene's romance was confirmed following Tipperary's 1-30 to 1-21 victory over Waterford in the Munster Senior Hurling Championship in May. Sharing a picture of them together in Semple Stadium in Thurles, Sharlene wrote: "Tippin' on." Michael also commented on their first public picture together, which he wasn't tagged in, and poked fun at his girlfriend, writing: "Any tag nah?" Michael has been named to start in Sunday's decider as he's put in another stellar year with the Premier County. Breen has twice won All-Ireland titles, starting in the 2016 and 2019 finals in midfield. Now 31 years old, he has reinvented himself as a corner back and will be looking for his first All-Star Award and third Celtic Cross. For Mawdsley, Sunday will be a brief respite from a gruelling training regime. The Tipperary native will be hoping for a personal best when she competes at this September's World Athletics Championships. Mawdsley, who turns 27 later this year, returned to the track after a short break following the shock passing of her father last month and recently competed at the Morton Games, where she won the 400-metre race. Tipperary take on Cork in the All-Ireland Hurling final this Sunday at 3.30 pm.
