A few minutes before Paudie Clifford got his hands on the All Ireland junior club trophy, TG4’s Micheál Ó Domhnaill was able to grab his brother for a few words on account of him being the winner of yet another man of the match bauble.

Ó Domhnaill immediately noted that this was hardly the first bit of team silverware David Clifford had won in possibly the most magnificent and complete season an individual player has had.
