Who is Limerick hurling captain Declan Hannon and what age is he?

Limerick captain Declan Hannon could lift the Liam MacCarthy Cup for the second time if the Treaty can repeat their 2018 success with another All-Ireland win today.

Here, Mirror Sport takes a close look at the Treaty skipper.

How long has he played for Limerick and when was he made captain?

Hannon experienced some tough days in the green jersey before this current golden era under boss John Kiely.

The Adare club-man made his debut for Limerick way back in 2010 and was made captain in 2018 by Kiely.

What age is Declan Hannon?

Hannon is 28 years old.

What has Hannon won?

- 1 Fitzgibbon Cup

- 2 Harty Cups

- 1 Limerick Senior Hurling Championship

- 3 Munster Senior Hurling Championships

- 2 National Hurling Leagues

- 1 Munster U-21 Hurling Championship

- 1 All-Star award

What has he said ahead of the final?

“It was always a dream to get to where we are at the minute. Thankfully in 2018 it became a reality and then it was, 'Well, right, we've done it once, why can't you go and do it again?'

“In 2019, we got close enough but just didn't get there. But again, that showed that we were up there with the best and coming into 2020 we wanted to push on again and try to get back to the All-Ireland final.

“I think we've taken great confidence over the last number of years that we are up there with the best of the teams and well able to compete.”
