Diarmuid Ryan accepts his prize from David Noble, Lending & Business Development Officer with St Francis Credit Union.

A COMMANDING display at centre-back has resulted in Cratloe’s Diarmuid Ryan winning the St Francis Credit Union/The Clare Echo player of the week.

Cratloe led by Ryan and their less-established figures produced a stirring display to defeat Scariff 1-24 1-21 in the first round of the TUS Clare SHC on Saturday evening.

Pitched in the Group of Death alongside Ballyea and Kilmaley, every puck matters in this group and Diarmuid’s display at centre back was outstanding. He was a magnet to the sliotar, powered up field and manned his defence in a performance which underlined that he may be Clare’s next number six.

He even managed to score six points from centre back.
