WITH the summer GAA season getting underway for the Clare hurlers and footballers this weekend, Kildysart man John Joe Costello is showing his support by turning his home saffron and blue.

John Joe, a big hurling supporter, told The Clare Echo that he does up his home every year – and he even writes a poem for every match.

John Joe’s home is hard to miss when passing through Kildysart as he has erected flags and banners in his front garden wishing the team the best of luck.

In his poem for this week’s match, John Joe wrote: “Come on the Banner the best team of all, In Pairc Uí Chaoimh on Sunday the Rebels will fall; Last year’s Munster final we threw it away, When we win on Sunday we will be on our way.”
