JACQUI HURLEY paid tribute to Pat Ryan’s late brother after Cork beat Limerick in the Munster hurling final.

The Rebels ended a seven-year wait for provincial glory with a penalty shoot-out win over the seven in-a-row chasing Treaty.

It came just four months on from the sad death of Cork manager Pat Ryan’s brother Ray aged 43.

Ray tragically passed away back in February, having been part of Sarsfields teams that won county titles in 2008, 2010, 2012, and 2014.

After the Rebels’ momentous victory at the TUS Gaelic Grounds, RTE broadcaster Jacqui Hurley made sure to pay tribute to him on Instagram.

She said: “Ray, I hope you are smiling down on these scenes.”

Pat Ryan is an immensely popular figure among the Leesiders, who have now done a league and provincial championship double.

This was on display when Robert Downey sent a message of love to his gaffer after Saturday’s game.

Skipper Downey said: “I don’t think he realises how much we love him.

“But on days like these, I’m going to tell him. Pat, we love you to bits.”

Three weeks after they suffered a 16-point hammering at the hands of the same opposition, Cork scuppered Limerick’s seven-in-a-row quest following an engrossing affair at the Gaelic Grounds.

Ryan said: “We were just focused on coming up here and really going to battle with Limerick and representing the jersey, representing our people.

“The people are spending money to come up here and we didn’t give them any value for money the last day.

“I think both teams gave fierce value for money to their supporters today and to everyone.

“We have no doubt in the character of our fellas. We have no doubt in the ability that they have.

“I think everybody has said that. You have to go and prove it every time.

“I’m here three years. We thought that performance three weeks ago was gone out of this team. As I said, I genuinely take a bit of blame for that.”

Ryan’s own frustration with ref Thomas Walsh — who went off injured in extra-time — seemed apparent as he approached the Waterford official at half-time.

But the Cork chief said: “We’re all fighting tooth and nail for the calls.

“The game is so fast. Thomas is a fantastic referee. We’re fighting for calls. John Kiely is fighting for calls. That’s just the nature of it.”

Asked why he approached Walsh, Ryan responded: “Just to say he was doing a great job.”

A GOOD bag has the power to elevate any ordinary outfit into something extra special.

So it comes as no surprise that fashion fans are racing to their nearest Next, in a bid to get their hands on one of the stunning new lemon handbags.

The store shared some of its favourite summer items in a picture slideshow on TikTok.

“Psssttt – wanna see some of our fave accessories for summer?” they wrote over the top of the first snap.

They then showed off the bag in question – a gorgeous beaded bright yellow number designed to look like a segment of lemon.

“They need no introduction,” they wrote over the picture.

The £55 beaded bag also comes in an equally cute watermelon design.

And it was clear the bag is going to be a sought after accessory this summer, judging by the hundreds of people commenting on the TikTok.

“Neeeed that lemon bag,” one wrote.

“We love the lemon and watermelon bags, Next!” another praised.

“Fruitylicious on the beach.”

“The lemon bag is going on the wishlist!” a third gushed.

“Obsessed, beaded heaven,” someone else said.

“Sold. God sakes!” another joked.

Other items included in the picture slideshow were a gorgeous shell necklace, which was paired with a green co-ord.

And there are a fair few bags to choose from in store at the moment too.

Like the “perfect summer beach bag” – a stunning cream option with tassels and intricate crochet detailing.

Cow print is also a big trend this summer, with a neck scarf coming in the pattern to “elevate any outfit”.

And there are even lace-up cow print loafers – sure to divide style fans.

Fruit continues to be a big theme, with a red bag featuring miniature strawberries on it.

The comments section was once again filled with people praising Next for the epic offerings, with one insisting: “Omg need it all!”

“Next have excelled this summer,” another added.

“I fear Next is eating the other high street shops up atm???????” a third mused.

“Erm ok slay!!!!!!!!” someone else commented.

“Your summer pieces are insane!” another mused.

While someone else said they “can’t afford this”.

“Next is doing so good this season!” someone else concluded.

You can shop the new clothing range in your local Lidl middle aisle as part of its seasonal offering. 

But be warned, you’ll need to be quick – as once this clothing is gone once, it’s gone for good.

Last week, fashionistas were sent into a frenzy after spotting a gorgeous jumpsuit for just £6 – but if you’ve missed out, there are plenty of other stunning must-have pieces.

Whether you’re on the lookout for basic T-shirts or bloat-friendly dresses, Lidl has got everything in store – and prices start from just £4.99.

One of the summer essentials you can get your hands on from today, Sunday, June 8, is a pair of Esmara Ladies’ Patterned Trousers for just £8.99.

The extra soft and comfy bottoms come with side pockets – a winner – as well as an elasticated waistband, meaning your tummy won’t get squished.

Shoppers can snap up these comfortable trousers in black, light blue, or a trendy pattern, and Lidl offers them in sizes UK 8 to UK 16.

What’s more, the German retailer also has an epic deal on – you can buy two pairs for a mere £10.

Meanwhile, if you’re heading off somewhere hot or simply want to have a more leggy display, check out these stunning Esmara Ladies’ Red/White Shorts that will set you back £5.99.

The summery shorts boast a relaxed cut with high rise waist and are fully-lined, so there’s no need worry about your undies peeking through.

As well as a tropical red and white print, the shorts come in black – a timeless colour that you can easily dress up or down.

Team it with sandals and a slinky white vest, and you’re good to head to the beach – or pair the shorts with strappy heels, a basic top, some jewellery and you’ll make heads turn.

No summer wardrobe is complete without a basic T-shirt to keep you cool in the sweltering temperatures – and luckily, the discount supermarket has come to rescue with several wallet-friendly options.

This Esmara Ladies’ White Blouse is a summer must-have – made from pure cotton, the blouse will let your skin breathe, providing the ultimate comfort.

According to Lidl, by buying this product, you are supporting the cotton made in Africa initiative which helps African farmers grow cotton more sustainably and improve their working conditions.

The blouse – available in sizes Small to Large – costs just £4.99 and is available in black, white and olive.

Need something easy to throw on? A dress if your best friend – and the German supermarket has heaps of options to choose from, such as this Esmara Ladies’ Black Dress.

Priced at £8.99, the strappy maxi dress is a must for those sunny beach days or a picnic in the park.

The summery frock, available in sizes UK 8 to UK 16, has relaxed fit – ideal if you’re feeling self-conscious about your tummy or bloat easily.

If thin straps aren’t your thing, there’s also this Esmara Ladies’ Blue Dress with a wider option – and it’s priced at just £8.99.

The maxi gown, which is made with fibers of natural origin, would look extra chic paired with sandals, a golden or silver necklace, a summery beach bag and a pair of sunnies.

Lidl’s middle aisle buys are always a massive hit – so those keen to give their wardrobes a refresh, should head to the local branch now to avoid any disappointment.
