They start their supporters young out west.

Gaillimh abú!

Baby Cathal may only be a month old but he’s already been out supporting his county.

Galway girl Síle Seoige hit Croke Park at the weekend with partner Damien O Fearghaíl to watch her county play Waterford in a thrilling All-Ireland hurling final and their newborn son came along for the big day out.

It turns out that little Cathal might have been a good-luck charm for the tribesmen – they beat Waterford on the day – though the baba appears to have been oblivious to it all as he snoozed in a sling.

Face sore from smiling : check

Magic memories made.

Cathal O Farrell only a month old and in Croke Park on All Ireland hurling final day when Galway won after a 29 year wait.

It was truly amazing to have been there to experience it.

The TV presenter and HerFamily columnist gave birth to Cathal, the couple’s first child, at the beginning of August.

Writing in her latest HerFamily column, Síle, who had a drug-free delivery, admitted that the labour was tough but that she had no regrets.

“It can, and luckily in my case, it has been, a massively empowering and positive experience and one I wouldn’t change.”
