Shane O’Donnell was euphoric after Clare’s All-Ireland SHC final victory.
Eleven years after scoring 3-3 in the 2013 All-Ireland final replay, the Éire Óg clubman was a central figure as the Banner broke Cork’s hearts once again.
"It's the greatest day of my life anyway and speaking for the lads, it's fair to say it's the greatest day of their lives as well," he said.
"Sometimes you think over the years, you might never get back and to see this is just incredible. We had a lot of turn over after we won (in 2013) so to bring a new group through and to celebrate like this is just incredible.
"This is the greatest thing you could ever do. Days like this are why you play sport for 20 or 30 years, hoping that you’ll get this opportunity.
"To do it twice, I wasn’t sure that we’d get back there but this group has been absolutely exceptional."
