Congrats to Fitzy and Gilly on being named on the Clare Echos - Clare’s Greatest Senior Hurling Team (1990 – 2020) and hard luck to Magow and Holla who were also nominated.


Davy Fitzgerald who is the only person on the team to have played with and managed his county to All-Ireland glory at senior level received the most votes. His tally of 2,921 was aided by the fact of him being first up for selection but showed a comprehensive victory nonetheless.

Among the others to poll very strongly were Brian Lohan (2,539), Frank Lohan (2,109), Seánie McMahon (1,989), Anthony Daly (1,899).

2013 hero Shane O’Donnell and Duggan feature in an attack is otherwise all comprised of members of the 1997 All-Ireland team. Sparrow O’Loughlin’s duel with Conor McGrath for the number fifteen spot was the closest of all votes for the forward line.

St Josephs Doora/Barefield have the most representatives on the team (3) with Clarecastle, Sixmilebridge and Wolfe Tones also high ranking with two each. Bodyke, Tulla, Ballyea, O’Callaghans Mills, Clooney/Quin and Éire Óg all have one club member making the team.
