Sporting legends AP McCoy and Paul McGrath meet up at Hurling for Cancer

AP McCoy was so starstruck at meeting Paul McGrath that he asked him for a photo.

The multiple times champion jockey posed for a snap with the Republic of Ireland legend at the Hurling for Cancer charity match on Tuesday evening.

McCoy tweeted: "Great night @Hurling4cancer not ashamed to say that I ask this legend for a photo @Paulmcgrath5."

McGrath replied: "Good to see you tonight @AP_McCoy It’s not often I’m asked for a picture by an Arsenal supporter."

Both men attended the charity match in Newbridge which saw Jim Bolger's side run out 3-17 to 4-12 winners over Davy Russell's team.

Among the other celebrities in attendance were Ruby Walsh, Willie Mullins, Niall Quinn and Miriam O'Callaghan.
