Getting their hands on Jack Daly for the first time since 2017 has given Kilmurry Ibrickane supporters the perfect tonic in the midst of a global pandemic, star man Keelan Sexton believed.

Kilmurry Ibrickane have collected their sixteenth Clare senior football championship and first since 2017.
After almost two decades of service to his club at senior level, Michael Hogan will sign off on Kilmurry Ibrickane career and sixty minutes separate him from having a fairytale ending.
