Two years ago, following a motion to county convention, Clare GAA decided to reduce the number of senior football teams from sixteen to twelve and St Josephs Doora/Barefield were one of the teams to make the drop as a result.
Two years after losing their senior status, St Josephs, Doora/Barefield are one step away from a return to senior football.
It’s the view of many Clare GAA followers that the intermediate hurling championship is a particularly difficult competition to win.
