THERE’S PLENTY OF ACTION still to take place but Mark Rodgers is almost certain to finish as the top scorer in this year’s senior hurling championship but the race is much tighter in the football stakes.

Fresh from his first All Star nomination, Scariff’s Rodgers who is also shortlisted for Young Hurler of the Year, leads the way in the MD MyClubShop.ie / The Clare Echo top scorer award.
With a tremendous campaign to date, Mark has averaged nearly 1-10 per game and has amassed a tally of 5-48 so far. The nearest challenger to the twenty two year old is Feakle’s Shane McGrath with 0-33 in four games.
Competition for the MD MyClubShop.ie / The Clare Echo top scorer in the Clare SFC could be as exciting as the final itself. Just two points separate Jamie Stack (1-24) of St Breckan’s and Cratloe’s Cathal McInerney (0-25).
Both ends of the field in Cusack Park on October 15th will be closely engaged and interacted upon as the battle for the Jack Daly takes its toll, whilst both Stack and McInerney will contest one last time on the biggest stage to try claim the top scorer award.
