Ex Clare minor football manager Michael Considine has been elected Chairman of Kilmurry Ibrickane GAA club.
Getting their hands on Jack Daly for the first time since 2017 has given Kilmurry Ibrickane supporters the perfect tonic in the midst of a global pandemic, star man Keelan Sexton believed.
He has captained and managed his club to senior championship success before but Aiden ‘Horse’ Moloney maintained their 2020 victory was as merited as successful campaigns in years previously.
Kilmurry Ibrickane have collected their sixteenth Clare senior football championship and first since 2017.
