He attended the match between Blackrock and Cloughdov
Caoimhin Kelleher was in attendance at the Cork intermediate hurling final over the weekend.
The Liverpool star delighted fans of all codes when he sat in the stands to watch his brother Olan win the competition with Blackrock, reports Cork Beo.

The proud Mahon man and hero of the recent, dramatic penalty shoot-out with Arsenal in the Carabao Cup was at the ground close to his home to see his older brother Olan star at corner forward for the Rockies against Cloughdov.
And the Kelleher family had a day to remember when Olan was first subbed on 42 minutes – and then came back on as corner forward in the 60th minute. Olan grabbed a point, helping the Rockies to win 0-15 to 1-10.

It was also a memorable day for the fans – especially the kids – who found themselves in selfie-range of a bona fide Premier League star and Champions League winner.
The former Ringmahon Rangers player – described by Jurgen Klopp as an “outstanding talent” – was relaxed and ready to chat with fans and pose for pictures. To be fair, it was hard to miss the six-foot-three, fair-haired Caoimhin, no matter how many layers of clothes he was wearing.
“It was great to see him and the kids were delighted, there was no way they were going to miss out on getting selfies with him,” said one fan who was in the same stand.
“Caoimhín was very relaxed and friendly, but I think he wanted to concentrate on watching the brother.”
