Clonlara-Truagh of Clare continue to break new ground, and they will be the first team from the Banner County to compete for the Bill and Agnes Carroll Cup on Sunday week.

“We talk about losing county finals in Clare, it wasn’t long ago that we were at intermediate level in our own club. We also lost three or four semi-finals, but once we got over that barrier, there was no stopping this team,” said former Clare coach Ryan Morris, who is now in his fourth year at the helm of the side from his home parish.

“It’s an absolute dream, it’s not often a small club gets the chance to have days like these,” said Morris. “To get the opportunity to play in Croke Park, and the way they performed today, they just left everything out there. They just don’t know when to stop.

“Myself and my wife are supposed to go on our honeymoon on the weekend of the All-Ireland final, that’s not happening now anyway! New York will always be there, All-Ireland finals don’t come along too often!”
