KILMURRY IBRICKANE had an unexpectedly facile eleven point win over neighbours and rivals St Joseph’s Miltown to become the first of four semi-finalists in the Clare SFC.

Darragh Sexton was one of the finds of the summer in 2016 when Kilmurry Ibrickane won a first Clare SFC title in four years, they retained the title a year later but with three seasons deprived of championship success, the defender made sure to absorb the moment as he got reacquainted with the Jack Daly.
He has captained and managed his club to senior championship success before but Aiden ‘Horse’ Moloney maintained their 2020 victory was as merited as successful campaigns in years previously.
Kilmurry Ibrickane have collected their sixteenth Clare senior football championship and first since 2017.
