Tony Kelly has been named as a 2020 All Star off the back of one of his greatest years in the Clare jersey.
Tony Kelly is on the shortlist for Hurler of the Year while he is one of four Clare men nominated for All Stars.
Not even an unprecedented 17 point masterclass from Tony Kelly could prevent neighbours Limerick from securing the double boost of National League honours and a Munster Semi-Final spot in Semple Stadium, Thurles this afternoon.
As they complete their preparations for Saturday’s clash with Whitegate at O’Garney park in Sixmilebridge, Feakle manager Mike Guilfoyle is under no illusions as to the task his side is facing.
In the end Feakle had more than a social distance to spare over Whitegate in this keenly contested derby opener in O’Garney Park, Sixmilebridge on Saturday afternoon.
