SIXMILEBRIDGE won the Clare Minor A hurling championship when coming from three points down to defeat Clarecastle.

Captained by Jack O’Halloran, Sixmilebridge completed an undefeated season when running out 0-17 0-14 victors against familiar foes Clarecastle.

Trailing by three points at half-time, Sixmilebridge produced a strong second half to outscore the Magpies 0-9 0-3 when they had the aid of a tricky wind in Zimmer Biomet Páirc Chíosóg on Saturday.

Not alone did Sixmilebridge win all their championship encounters this season but this panel of players have already won U14A (2022) and U15A (2023) titles.

In what was the club’s first time winning the Minor A championship since 2011, Ann Chaplin was once again on hand to present the Willie Chaplin trophy to captain O’Halloran.
