Ian Galvin with David Noble, Lending & Business Development Officer with St Francis Credit Union.
IAN GALVIN led by example for Clonlara to secure the nod as the St Francis Credit Union/The Clare Echo player of the week.
Galvin gave a captain’s display for Clonlara scoring 3-10 as they recorded successive victories to have one foot in the knockout stages of the Clare SHC.
His ability and skill is well known but it was the manner in which Ian stepped up as a real leader for the South-East Clare club in the absence of the hugely influential John Conlon, their Clare SHC winning captain of 2023 Jathan McMahon along with Cathal ‘Tots’ O’Connell, Micheál O’Loughlin and David Fitzgerald.
Clonlara manager, Donal Madden said of Galvin’s display in round two, “Ian is a leader, a great comrade and loyal friend. After John’s injury he wanted to stand up today and show leadership and that’s what captains do”
