Winners re-live glory days as Ahearne bridges 60 year gap

STRADBALLY manager Sean Ahearne, who guided the club to its hat-trick of senior football championship titles for the first time since 1943, was overjoyed.

“This is the greatest day of my footballing life, the greatest of all days since I first became involved with this club all those years ago.”

Ahearne, himself a championship winner in his playing days, said they had won a very good county final against very good opposition in Tramore whom he described as “a coming team.”
