Gilly glory as Bridge too strong

Clare SHC final

Niall Gilligan is 39. The last time he lined out for Clare was 2009. Yesterday confirmed that since he gave up playing for the county, he’s been the most dominant player in the county.

In 2010, a tense Clare Cup final against the old enemy Newmarket-on-Fergus turned on a rocket of a goal from Gilligan that gave a core group of youngsters their first taste of silverware at senior level.
