The 24-year-old was remembered by both sides ahead of Sunday’s Tipperary SHC round-robin clash at Boherlahan, which Clonoulty-Rossmore won by 0-25 to 1-19.
Moycarkey-Borris presented Clonoulty-Rossmore with an number 11 shirt — Quirke’s number — signed by their squad, while Clonoulty-Rossmore lined out without a number 11 in Quirke’s memory.

A minute’s silence was also held before the game in memory of the young county star, whose sudden death earlier this month stunned the entire GAA community.
Quirke, who had established himself as a regular in the Tipperary half-backs this season, took ill while playing a club championship match on 5 August and died in Tipperary University Hospital later that evening.
