Donoghue says charges ‘in right frame of mind’ to erase bad Birr memories

CLARINBRIDGE hurling manager, Michéal Donoghue is a very impressive character.

He does not appear to get ruffled, regardless of how intense the pressure, as evidenced by his coolness in the final few minutes of the epic All-Ireland semi-final victory over De La Salle.

A financial consultant with Murray & Spellman insurances in Galway city, he has been down this road before and was the club captain and centre-back when they were beaten by Birr in Thurles in the 2002 All-Ireland final.
