Clare captain pops the question on eve of champions’ trip to Cancun

The Clare hurlers’ bachelor mission to the Mexican resort of Cancun is a man down yesterday after captain Pat Donnellan confirmed he popped the question to Limerick girl Edel Leahy.

The All-Ireland winning team — as part of an 80-strong group — assembled at Shannon airport yesterday to fly out to the sun destination.

The All-Ireland winners, just like their 1995 predecessors, has the rare distinction of not having any engaged or married player on the starting 15.
