Player of the match in the Clare final, player of the match in the Munster final, Aine O’Loughlin picked up another player of the match accolade as Truagh-Clonlara qualified for the All-Ireland senior club final with a two point win over a fancied St Vincents from Dublin at Walsh Park in Waterford on Sunday.

Speaking to The Clare Echo shortly after Sunday’s wi in waterford she said “I’m still I shock, I cant believe it, I cant believe that I will be wearing my Truagh-Clonlara colours in Croke Park. Its just a dream come true, I’m so proud of this group of players”.

Asked about the determination of the payes she said “we have been told many times by management that we are a very stubborn team, we don’t give up and in the last few matches against Scariff-Ogonnelloe, Inagh-Kilnamona, Clonoulty and Galtir, this was evident. We just keep going, we keep playing to the final whistle”.

Reflecting on Sunday’s performance she said, “at half time we weren’t really happy with out performance we knew there was another gear. We said we needed to play wider, Eimear got some great scores as did Becky, we played he way we want to play in that second half”.

Continuing she said “it’s a dream to play in Croke park, it will be a special occasion, we will prepare and we will give it everything, we don’t mind delaying the Christmas celebrations because of this”

Concluding Aine said “this is great for Clare camogie, It’s great for our parish where the people is totally behind us, you could see hat today, they were all here and ‘great to see. We are representing and Munster in Croke Park now, it’s a dream come true”.
