Limerick starlet Cian Lynch isn't getting carried away with his new-found fame.

The 19-year-old marked his Munster SHC debut against Clare with a man of the match performance and was duly named as the Opel Hurler of the Month for May yesterday.
The Patrickswell clubman, who is a nephew of the great Ciaran Carey, said in the Irish Sun: "I'm working in the local Spar shop and young fellas come in and I'd be laughing away myself, having the usual craic and just being myself. Lads come in and want you to sign something and looking up at you. You'd say to yourself 'what are they staring at?'

"It's great because I remember being that age and looking up to hurlers, saying to myself, 'Jeez, that's Seamus Hickey or that's Henry Shefflin', you know.

"It's cool enough, but you have to take it with a pinch of salt - you don't want to get carried away. But you wouldn't want to dwell on it. You wouldn't want to get bogged down in it because it's only one match. We have to keep going and look forward to the Tipp match."
