Dillon Quirke was remembered as a "shining star" and an "inspiring hero" as he was laid to rest on Tuesday afternoon.
The 24-year-old collapsed shortly before half time while playing with his local club on Friday evening in the Tipperary Senior Hurling Championship.
He received treatment on the field before being taken to Tipperary University Hospital in Clonmel , where he was pronounced dead a short time later.
