SCARIFF’S MARK Rodgers finished off his club season on a high by adding an award to his mantlepiece.
Lining out in the Clare senior hurling championship for the third year in a row, Rodgers set the way for his club as they reached the semi-finals for the first time since 2004.
Key to this was the form of Rodgers who clocked up a tally of 5-56 which saw him win the MD MyClubShop.ie / The Clare Echo top scorer of the senior hurling championship.
It is likely that this award won’t be the only one the Clare forward ends up with, he is in the running for Young Hurler of the Year and has also been nominated for an All-Star award off the back of a promising season in attack for Brian Lohan’s men.
Cooraclare’s Martin Donnelly has sponsored the top scorer competition since 1990 and has been noted for his generosity to gaelic games and sporting organisations across the country.
