‘Banger Banners’ lead exodus to final

A fleet of ‘Banner Bangers’ was on parade in Ennis yesterday ready to lead the mass exodus from Clare today to Dublin for the All-Ireland final hurling replay.

Hundreds of Banner supporters took time out in the scramble for tickets to gather on Ennis’s Francis Street to send off the assorted vehicles — including one tractor — on the road to Croker.

Leading the way was the eight-seater ‘Banner Beast’ by a group of supporters from O’Briensbridge.
