*Joe Rafferty accepts his prize from Martin Daly of Martin Daly Autos. 

WITH A CENTRAL role in St Joseph’s Doora/Barefield securing a place in the Clare SFC semi-finals for the first time in over a decade, Joe Rafferty gets the reward of winning the Martin Daly Autos/The Clare Echo player of the week.

Rafferty a member of the Clare senior panel this season has been one of the real leaders of Donagh Vaughan’s side in the 2025 Clare SFC.

Along with stepping up with big scores, he kicked 1-3 including a two pointer, Joe was one of the on-field leaders through his messaging and of course his performance for what is a youthful Doora/Barefield side.
