Not many Munster Championship medals have come to Clooney/Quin GAA Club over the years, so when such a scarce item does, it is truly worth celebrating. But when five Munster Hurling Championship medals are won, then indeed its cause for great celebration. That such a haul comes in a four day period, the achievement becomes even a more unique occasion indeed.
Peter Duggan, Keith Hogan and Dave Barry, on Sunday last joined Pat
Markham in an elite group of Clooney-Quin players to have won a
Munster Minor Hurling Championship Medal following Clares victory over
Waterford. This is the first time Clare have captured back-to-back
Provincial hurling titles which makes the achievement so unique. Peter
lined out at wing forward and turned in a superb hours hurling for the
team, notching a fine point in the first half along with having a
major influence on the game in winning possession several times as
Waterford rallied late-on. Our three players now look forward to an
All-Ireland semi-final which will be played in Croke Park on August
7th or 14th next. Congratulations to all involved with this
magnificent victory for The Banner county.

Onto Wednesday evening in Cusack Park, where Martin Duggan lined out for the Clare Intermediate side as they also created their own piece of Hurling History, securing Clares first ever Munster Title in this Competition as they defeated neighbours, Limerick in a thrilling Final. Joining Martin on the Panel on Wednesday was Enda Harrison.
Congratulations to all involved with these magnificent victories for The Banner county.
